Crème fraîche should always be stored in the refrigerator. Ensure the container is tightly sealed to prevent it from absorbing odors. Once opened, use within 7-10 days for the best quality. Avoid leaving it at room temperature for extended periods, as this can encourage spoilage. Freezing is not recommended, as it can alter the texture and make it grainy.
