How should I store soy sauce?

The best way to store soy sauce depends on whether it's opened or unopened.

Unopened Soy Sauce Storage

For unopened bottles, store soy sauce in a cool, dark place. This is because soy sauce is sensitive to both light and temperature, similar to olive oil or vinegar. This helps preserve its quality.

Once opened, refrigeration is recommended to maintain the flavor and quality of the soy sauce.

Here's a summary in a table:

State	Storage Recommendation	Reason
Unopened	Cool, dark place	To protect from light and temperature degradation, preserving quality.
Opened	Refrigerate	To maintain the flavor and quality of the soy sauce after opening.

By following these storage guidelines, you can ensure your soy sauce stays flavorful for longer!
