Lemon zest can be stored in the refrigerator for about one to two days if kept in an airtight container. If you freeze it, lemon zest can last for several months while retaining its flavor and aroma. For the best quality, it's recommended to use frozen zest within six months. Always check for any signs of spoilage before use.
