General guidance

Florida humidity and the Italian pantry

Pasta, flour, and opened sauces face humidity that dry-climate pantry advice ignores. Sealing and cooler shelves matter.

What this climate changes

Moisture softens crackers and can clump flour. Oils go rancid faster in heat.

Opened sauces

Refrigerate after opening when the jar says so. Smell and look before use.

Herbs and cheese

Dried herbs fade in heat; buy small. Soft cheeses belong cold.
