Storing Maple Syrup

Containers of un-opened maple syrup can be stored in a cool, dry location, out of direct sunlight, for up to one year.
Maple syrup should be stored in the refrigerator or freezer after the container has been opened. Un-opened maple syrup can also be stored in the refrigerator or freezer. When stored in the refrigerator or freezer, opened or unopened containers of maple syrup will retain their flavor for up to one year.
Maple syrup does not freeze and can be poured directly upon removing from the freezer.
Occasionally, after storing for long periods, when maple syrup is opened, it will show some mold on the surface. The mold can be scooped of with a spoon or poured off and the syrup is fine to use.
