One of the quiet joys of ghee is how little it asks of you. Because it contains no water or milk solids after clarification, it is naturally shelf-stable and does not need refrigeration. Nand Gokul Ghee keeps for 9 months from the date of manufacture when stored correctly.
Keep It Cool, Dry, and Out of the Light
A cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight is all your ghee needs. The shelf beside your stove is perfect — close at hand and out of the sun.
Please Don't Refrigerate
It's tempting, but cold temperatures cause ghee to solidify unevenly and can affect its texture and aroma. Ghee was never meant to live in the fridge. Let it rest at room temperature, the way it always has.
The One Mistake to Avoid
Always use a clean, dry spoon. Moisture is the only thing that can shorten ghee's life.
A wet spoon, a stray drop of water, a damp lid — these are the small habits that invite spoilage. Keep moisture out, and a jar of Nand Gokul Ghee will stay golden and fragrant right down to the last spoonful.
