Once opened, it's best to keep the jar in a cool, dry place, and preferably refrigerated, to ensure longevity. Always use a clean, dry spoon to avoid introducing moisture or contaminants that could lead to spoilage. If you notice an off smell, unusual mold, or a change in color that seems inconsistent with the natural fermentation process, it's safest to discard the product. Remember, our achars are made in small batches to ensure bold flavors and premium quality, so enjoying them fresh is always a delight!
