To maintain freshness and aroma:

  • Avoid direct sunlight; store in a cool, dark cupboard or pantry.
  • Do not refrigerate unless in very humid climates, and even then, keep it well-sealed to prevent condensation.
  • Always use a clean, dry spoon when scooping to avoid contamination.
  • Keep away from strong-smelling foods (like coffee or spices with heavy aroma) to avoid flavor transfer.
  • Shelf life: Up to 2 years from packaging when stored properly.
  • For best flavor, use within 12 months of opening.
