How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store the unopened jar in a cool, dry place. Once opened, it is best to store the peanut butter in the refrigerator. This helps to prevent oil separation and keeps the texture smooth and spreadable for longer. Stirring may be necessary if oil separation occurs.
