Does maple syrup need to be refrigerated after opening?

Maple syrup does not need to be kept in the refrigerator after it has been opened, in fact, it can last up to one year if stored at room temperature.

However, it is recommended that maple syrup be refrigerated after opening if you plan to store it for more than one year, or if you live in an unusually warm environment. Refrigeration can help to preserve the flavor and quality of the syrup.

When storing maple syrup, always make sure to keep it in a cool, dry place and avoid exposing it to direct sunlight.
