- Storage Information
- Refrigerating: To store any leftover tapenade, it's best to transfer it to an airtight container, place in the fridge and use within 3-5 Days:
- Freezing: If you're considering freezing the tapenade (which is totally doable), I recommend dividing it into portion sizes. Transfer the tapenade into freezer bags, pressing out as much air as possible before sealing. If you're using a container, leave a small space at the top as the tapenade may expand slightly when frozen. Label with the date. The tapenade should maintain its best quality for up to 2 months in the freezer.
