Best Storage Tips

Refrigerate for longest life: up to 6 months

Room temperature is fine for short-term use: about 3 months

Keep it in an airtight jar

Use a clean spoon or brush each time to avoid contamination

Notes:

Coconut oil gives a slightly firmer texture when chilled.
Works beautifully for cakes, quick breads, brownies, and Bundt pans.
No coconut flavor once baked.
