How to keep the rest
After opening, store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to maintain freshness. Refrigeration is not typically required, but check the product packaging for specific recommendations. It can crystallize over time, which is natural for honey; simply warm gently to return to a liquid state.
