how do you maintain the shelf life?

That wasn't an issue because I had it for only a few months before I used all of it up. Keep it in a cool, dry place.

As long as you keep it in an air tight container in a cool, dry place, it's very stable. I use mine to mix with Raw Shea butter and coconut oil to make body butter. Doesn't go rancid or change form. Never use metal utensils, bowls or pans when using, and don't cross contaminate with any other butter or oils. Should have no problem with storage for at least a year.

I am using it pretty quickly, but I found that I have made y lotion its good for about 3-4 months as long as it doesn't get too hot. Until then I keep it in a cool dark closet. The longest I have had some is about 6 months and it was fine. I hope that helps.

In plastic sealed container, and the container wrapped in Saran Wrap. I keep all my butters in a cool dark closet. I have not had any go bad. Using precautions to avoid cross contamination also helps preservation as well. I use clean utensils to take out what I need for any new homemade recipe, and quickly return the remainder of whatever I'm using back to storage. As stated before, I've had no spoilage issues and most of my large bulk order butters last 12-14 months give or take.

Refrigerate any unused portion when you need to use your body heat melts it quickly. Or just set some out at room temp ahead of time

I don't keep mine long enough to go rancid but I make sure & keep it in a semi dark room that stays under 80. The shelf life is almost a year. You can frigerate it to last longer

I refrigerate mine upon receipt. It is manufactured with more potency than indicated because of it having a shelf life.

Best to eat them fresh, they tend to not hold up well when refrigerated or frozen. The best way to store long term is to leave them in the ground until ready to cook them.

If packed in glass jars, a year or so. I've packed mine in glass jars with an oxygen absorber. It seals itself and I've heard that by doing that, the shelf life can be about 5 years.

I freeze them right away when the case is delivered, and pull a loaf out as needed. This will significantly increase the shelf life. Once a loaf is thawed I suggest keeping it in the fridge; it should stay fresh for about a 7-10 days.

I don't know the shelf life, but yes it needs to be refrigerated after openiing.

I keep mine in the refrigerator. They should last a few months that way. They are delicious!

My containers are marked with a Lot Made date and an expiration date of 2 years later. You could extend shelf life by freezing probably by 6 months to a year.

My personal view is that 5 years is about all you can count on before the food quality and taste begins to degenerate. Sustained storage with temps above 75 degrees or so will reduce storage time.

Hello,This is a product that is best used while fresh. When properly stored, you may look forward to a shelf life of at least a week.Thank you!

I kept mine in the fridge for a couple of months and then transferred to the freezer and it was there for 4 or 5 months. The shelf life is great if kept refrigerated. Great for cookies.

I keep mine in the pantry, in a Rubbermaid container. I've had it for over a year and it doesn't seem to go "bad." It seems as shelf stable as flour or cornstarch.

Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 months. In the refrigerator, it can last up to a year.

Same here. I used some at Christmas, and refrigerated the remaining container. Still fine. Based on similar products, as long as you keep it sealed and refrigerated after opening, it will last many months

I keep mine in the fridge, I have had it for quite a while and it's still good! :)

Mine lasts for several months - especially when refrigerated. I always run out before coming close to it spoiling.

I keep them in a container in a cool dry place, not the fridge and with no discoloration. They only last as long as you can keep from eating them up.
