Ghee should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. It doesn't typically require refrigeration, but refrigerating it will extend its shelf life even further, especially in warmer climates. Properly stored, ghee can last for several months at room temperature and even longer in the refrigerator. Avoid exposing it to moisture to prevent spoilage.
