How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any unused Mele Macs in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. For longer storage, they can be kept in the refrigerator, which helps to preserve their delicate flavor and prevent them from becoming rancid. Ensure the container is well-sealed to protect them from moisture and strong odors.
