Fermented CLO - refrigerate?

[Taedareth]

I have some Blue Ice fermented CLO. We moved recently and somehow this (opened) bottle of CLO got packed in a box and left at room temp for a couple of months. It smells fishy, but otherwise I can't tell if the odor is good or bad. Do you think we should eat it?

Well, if its Green Pastures, its fine not to refrigerate it:

Many call on this topic.

Fermented clo products: The oil is very stable. In my opinion many can store OPENED jars either way. If you use the fclo regularly (within a few months) you can opt to leave in a cupboard after opening.

We do not overly process the oils so some lots tend to become thicker as the storage temps get colder. I have seen some really cold refrigerators make a fclo almost Gel.

If you take advantage of our quantity discounts and store many jars you might consider storing the unopened jars in a cool dry place, refrigerator or freezer. The cooler the better for long term storage.

The same philosophy applies to the butter oil products."

HTH!
