Store the unopened bottle in the dark, away from heat and temperature changes.
Once opened, close tightly: it keeps its fragrance and taste at its best for 6-12 months. You can keep it in the refrigerator for cooler serving; freezer only if you like a thicker consistency, knowing that it can attenuate the aromas. Avoid direct light and untight caps to preserve artisanal quality.
