How long can these be kept. Do they need to be refrigerated?

My Middle Eastern mom makes an excellent version of this with lemon, thyme, & whole garlic cloves -- all topped with olive oil. She keeps it in the pantry for up to a couple of weeks. However, I do not know whether or how long before mold becomes an issue.
