Storage Tips
Store speculoos spread in a cool, dry place at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Once opened, ensure the lid is tightly sealed to maintain freshness and prevent the spread from drying out. Refrigeration is not necessary but can extend shelf life slightly if you live in a warm climate. Stir before use if oil separation occurs.
