Storage and Handling Tips
Store walnuts in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer, as their high fat content makes them prone to rancidity. They can be kept for 3-6 months in the refrigerator or up to a year in the freezer. If they develop an off smell or taste, discard them immediately.
