What's the refrigerated shelf life? Not sure how quickly I'll use 10 lbs of butter.

I freeze mine. At 6months I'm still using it and the taste is still amazing. Hasn't gone rancid yet, I expect it to last another 4-6 months before I need to reorder.

The oil is high in antioxidants and stores well in a cool dry place, about a year. Look at the expiration date, if you will get close to it or over by the time it will be spent, refrigerate now. Rule of thumb is you double remaining expiration time every 10 degC cooler than room for factory sealed foods. I recently had rotated a can of emergency refrigerated tuna exp. 2007 (rule of thumb extended it over 7yrs) and was delicious. If the oil will not be used for an extended period and you do have refrigeration room, why not extend the expiration and freshness by keeping it cooler?

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.

It is important that you keep your shea butter in a cool area out of direct sunlight and dark of possible. The shelf life is about 12 to 24 months without adding preservatives. I hope this helps

Hi Cynthia J, you can freeze butter but it will keep in fridge for some considerable time, especially butter with salt. Personally it never lasts that long in our house as it is a regular purchase. Massed potato with Kerrygold.... :D

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

Duck fat, when refrigerated or frozen, can have an almost limitless shelf life much like butter or ghee. In the case of duck fat it will often be used for confit, strained and refrigerated for later use. It's probably listed as perishable because the likelihood it would go rancid in standard shipping without temperature control would be highly variable.

I'll have to modify my answer. I have a ten test kit but, again, the shelf life was well over 12 months.

It's all natural peanut butter, so there are no commercial preservatives. That being said, salt is a natural preservative. I would estimate that you could leave it in your pantry for up to a month before you needed to refrigerate it. Unlike many natural peanut butters, the oil doesn't separate from the peanuts as much and the consistency remains the same whether it's refrigerated or not. I go through a jar every 2 weeks, so I don't find it necessary.

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.

Mango butter (42% stearic acid) has a shelf life of about 2 to 3 years due to its high level of stearic acid.

Yes, this and other nut butters in jars need to be refrigerated once opened. Be sure to stir the contents thoroughly before placing in the refrigerator, and it is useful to put a tag with the date when opened on the top so you'll know how fresh it is!

It takes me 3 or 4 months to use up 3 lbs. And it's fine. But if you mean shelf life for an un opened package, I don't know. I recently bought one and expiration date is 7/17. About 2 1/2 years out.

I store mine in the freezer... I really don't know how much shelf life it has... I tend to use it up quickly...

I saw no labeling information indicating an expiration date. I do not know any cart containing fats have a prolonged shelflife when refrigerated. So personally I go by color smell and taste to determine further use or discarding the products.

I bought it through Amazon. The seller was the Storage Store. I bought it last fall, don't know if Amazon still carries it. Holds a pound block of butter perfectly, stays fresh. $6.00

I'm looking at the box now. Its says to "refrigerate overnight or about 30 minutes per pound."
