Pepper paste should be stored in the refrigerator after opening to maintain its quality and prevent spoilage. Transfer the paste to an airtight container, or keep it in its original jar with a thin layer of olive oil on top to prevent mold growth. Properly stored, it can last for several months in the refrigerator. You can also freeze pepper paste in small portions for longer-term storage, which is useful if you only use it occasionally. Thaw in the refrigerator before using.
