4. Soy Sauce
Soy sauce does not need to be stored in the refrigerator. In fact, it’s best to store it in a cool, dark cupboard, away from direct sunlight and heat. This is because the cold temperature of a refrigerator can cause the soy sauce to become cloudy and thick, which can affect its flavor and appearance.
Just like salami, soy sauce is a fermented product so it’s already been preserved and doesn’t need to be kept in the fridge to prevent spoilage. Keeping it in the fridge can actually cause the sauce to go bad faster due to the fluctuations in temperature that can occur when the fridge door is opened and closed.
