No, refrigeration is not usually necessary. Keep the jar tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and follow any different storage directions printed on the package.

Oil on top can be normal separation, not a sign that the peanut butter has spoiled. Stir it back in until the texture is even, and discard the product if you notice mold or an unusual smell or taste.

Use the package’s date and storage directions to judge how long it keeps; there is no reliable fixed time for every jar. Close it after use, avoid introducing crumbs or moisture, and discard it if it develops mold or an off odor.
