      It does if it’s organic! Jif has preservatives that’ll keep it on a shelf but there are many “natural” brands that don’t.

        The oil will not go rancid so quickly in the fridge. For example, where I live, my kitchen is about 28c right now. My homemade PB goes in the fridge.

      Along with what the other two said. I keep my natural peanut butter in the fridge so it doesn’t separate. Has nothing to do with longevity, which seems dubious to me because I’ve never seen peanut butter go bad. And in the past I’ve had an open jar of natural peanut butter for well over a year with no issues.
