Forty Thieves Natural Peanut Butter Calories

Oil separation is normal in natural peanut butter because the peanut oil rises to the top when the jar sits. Stir the contents thoroughly before serving to bring the oil and thicker peanut paste back together.

No, refrigeration is usually not required. Keep the sealed jar in a cool, dry place and follow its label; chilling can slow oil separation but makes the peanut butter firmer and harder to spread.
