How to store peanut butter
Unopened, a jar of peanut butter will stay good on the shelf for 3 to 4 months.
Once opened, it’s best to store natural peanut butter in the refrigerator to keep it fresh and prevent the natural fat in the peanut butter from going rancid.
Note: The natural fat (oil) in peanut butter will separate from the solids and rise to the top. Before using, stir the oil back into the peanut butter.
