Storage Tips
To maximize the shelf life of soy nut butter, store it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat. An unopened jar can be kept at room temperature until its expiration date. Once opened, it's best to refrigerate soy nut butter to prevent it from going rancid. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use. Refrigerated soy nut butter can last for several months. If you notice a change in smell, taste, or texture, it's time to discard it.
