Keep your favorite spicy buffalo sauce fresh and flavorful for longer with proper storage. This zesty condiment, perfect for wings, dips, and sandwiches, maintains its vibrant taste and heat when stored correctly.

Storage Time

Unopened: Up to 1 year in pantry. Opened: 2-3 weeks in refrigerator.

Temperature

Store unopened bottles in a cool, dry pantry. Once opened, refrigerate at 0–4°C (32–40°F).

Freezing

Spicy buffalo sauce can be frozen to extend its shelf life, though some minor texture changes might occur upon thawing. For best results, pour the sauce into an airtight freezer-safe container or a heavy-duty freezer bag, leaving a little headspace for expansion. Thaw slowly in the refrigerator overnight before using. Stir well after thawing to recombine any separated ingredients.

Signs of Spoilage

• Unpleasant, sour, or rancid odor.
• Visible mold growth, often appearing as fuzzy spots of various colors.
• Significant separation of ingredients that doesn't resolve with shaking, or a slimy texture.
