Like all dried herbs and spices, keep homemade Italian seasoning in a dark, dry cupboard or pantry where it will stay fresh for up to a year.
Use a mason jar, a recycled spice shaker bottle, or any other airtight container that will keep out moisture. Be sure to write the date it was made so you’ll know when to replace it, but it’s more likely it will be used up long before that!
