Storage Tips

Chipotle paste should be stored in the refrigerator after opening. To maintain its freshness, transfer the paste to an airtight container or wrap the original container tightly with plastic wrap. Properly stored, chipotle paste can last for several months in the refrigerator. For longer storage, consider freezing it in small portions using an ice cube tray; once frozen, transfer the cubes to a freezer bag. This allows you to easily thaw only the amount you need, preventing spoilage.
