In the
summertime, after I mix the product, I keep it in the refrigerator,
but in the cold season, the re-emergence of the oil is slow enough
that the entire jar doesn't need re-mixing.

When I was a child my mother kept the peanut butter jar upside down on
the shelf so the oil would be at the bottom when the jar was opened.

Other evidence tells me that it was at least five years ago, and very
likely much more, that I found an unopened jar of tahini which had been
in the back of a cupboard for so long that the oil had come to the top.
I turned it upside down to reverse the effect, and am still waiting for
the slightest perceptible change. Is it one of the London University
colleges which has a long glass tube on one of the staircases with a
coloured liquid in one half and an undyed form of the same liquid in the
other? They've been waiting for about two hundred years to see how long
it takes for the colour to become even. They've found that it takes more
than about two hundred years...
