We recommend storing your products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Because our products are all-natural and free of preservatives, keeping them in a stable environment will ensure their freshness and longevity. Due to the low melting point of Mangalitsa lard, we suggest keeping it in the refrigerator, or out of direct sunlight to prevent it from melting.
