If you're planning on keeping it for a while, it would be a good idea to freeze it in portions (like ice cubes). It can/will eventually mold in the fridge, and if there is any water left in the shelf life will decrease. Water free it should last months in the fridge, and indefinitely in the freezer. Make sure to store in a tightly sealed container so it doesn't pick up any off flavors.

You can definitely freeze it. We've always got duck fat around (my husband makes fantastic confit), and it keeps pretty well in our fridge in a tightly sealed glass container for months.

Oh yes I keep some in the freezer - it makes a great roux for gumbo! In fact I need to make / post all day duck gumbo. Also - world's best fried potatoes. Or gnocchi. Duck fat makes the world a better place (except maybe for the ducks!)

@aargersi Amen, nothing like the combination of duck fat and potatoes! I also make a duck gumbo, probably my favorite type of gumbo. Contest theme, perhaps? :D
