I keep mine in the refrigerator & I was told it would keep for a very long time.

I just keep it in my kitchen cupboard! It really lives for long time may be until the printed expiration date! just try to use a dry clean spoon everytime u take from the jar & it won't be spoiled!

to tell you the truth, I've not opened it yet, but I've used it before and I always refrigerate it and it keeps well for me for several months. hope this is helpful to you.

I keep it in the refrigerator after opening. I've had it in there about a month, and it was fine last week when I used it to make some hummus.

Refrigerated after opening in a sealed bag. It should last until you use it up.......

You can store the unopened packets in the cupboard or pantry. Once a packet is opened, you will need to refrigerate the uneaten remainder.

Once opened, I keep it covered in the refrigerator.I have kept an open container for more than three months with no loss in quality

The best by date on my recent purchase is January 2015, but I have stored previously purchased packages for at least two years unopened with no deterioration of quality whatsoever. Once I open a box, a transfer to a glass cannister with a screw on lid to make sure nothing gets in the package. We live in Florida and seal everything and have never had a problem.

It says in the listing, "Store up to 1 year. If jars do not completely seal, refrigerate and consume within one week.Serve it! Pour into containers and let cool. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving. Refrigerate up to 1 week."But I have canned many things that last longer than a week in the fridge once opened. I think it would depend on how well they were processed, how clean the utensils that are dipped in it during use are, and how well it is sealed up in the fridge. Those practices will help it last longer.

The jar is small and you use it like butter. It keeps in the refrigerator just fine. I had mine open for a couple weeks with no problem. But I assume you could take out portions and freeze them. Enjoy.

Once opened the shelf life is six months to a year. You don't have to refrigerate after opening.

I just got a new jar. There is a sticker on the outside that you break when opening. No seal on the inside. Not really needed. Also a sticker on the outside with mfg date, shelf life & lot#.

I do not know the shelf life but after opening I have just kept it on cabinet the shelf, that is, I did not refrigerate it.

Depending on storage conditions: temperature & moisture exposure; I would think that this product would keep almost indefinitely even after opening because there isn't anything to break down without exposure to other things. I recently found a misplaced opened package (with ziplock closed) and it seemed in perfect condition and this was over a year.

We have stored it in the refrigerator for two weeks and has been fine, don't know beyond that time. Be sure to use a glass Jar or Jug to store.

My container doesnt expire until 6-16. As for refrigerating, I'm not sure about that. It says to avoid moisture and store below 77 degrees. I have mine in a cool dark place in my pantry. If you do want to refrigerate it, I would be sure to double wrap it or something.

It has been packed with an oxygen absorber so it should have at least a five year shelf life if unopened. After opening it should have 9 months to a year.

The jar says refrigerate after opening, so that's what I do. It will keep for many months.

I never do. Just keep it in a cooler place away from the stove. I think the company says it is fine after opened unrefrigerated for up to a month. My last jar was open and unrefrigerated for several months and I am still alive :)
