How should I store and handle unrefined Arriba Nacional cocoa butter?

• Store in airtight packaging in a cool pantry or cupboard
• Avoid heat and strong odors that can alter the scent
• Refrigeration optional for long-term storage; allow to return to room temperature before use
• Use clean spoons or a microplane for grating when measuring
