Storage: This is a LOT of Caramel, wondering how long it can be stored and how best to store it? Can it be frozen for use later?

I have not frozen this, so I can not address that. But I have stored it in a cool dark drawer for as much as a year with little ill effects. I do keep it tightly sealed in a Tupperware style container. (Letting it dry out will obviously make it difficult to work with and it will not have the desired 'melt in your mouth' quality it has when you first open it.) I am a big fan of this product and have no problems coming up with ways to use it.

Caramel can be stored for a year in cool place in your house - basement. I buy 6 of those loaves at a time and they last me for a year with my candy making projects. People tell me they freeze the candy which has caramel in it and they do fine! To make it pliable for shaping, I cut off a slice, put it on a microsafe piece of plastic wrap and nuke it for just a few seconds. It melts fast, so careful.

My answer #2......I would think that freezing this caramel just might turn the sugar to crystals and then be useless. Just my opinion as I've never froze it.

I store my caramel in an air tight container on my pantry shelf. The outside of the box says it's good for a year. Love this brand of caramel

Hi EM, Sorry but I did not get your message until now. It seems like your question went out to all our customers who have bought this before, but I guess nobody answered you. It did not come to us, so sorry about that. The next time please send us an email and we will respond right away. To answer your question, yes, you must store it in a cool dry place, away from sunlight. And make sure it is either in the resealable bag you received it in, or in an airtight container. It is not required to store it in the fridge or freezer. But you can if you want to. It is just that when you defrost it if stored in the freezer, it may alter the taste a little. However you will extend the shelf life for sure. Hope this helps you. Sincerely, Gillian Owner

We store it in the cupboard , usually use it up in 3 months. It stays good, doesn't seem to lose flavor, or cake up in that 3 month period. Hope this helps!

I keep mine at room temp, we are currently having a "heat wave", it remains solid. To store it for longer periods of time or if it gets too soft, I would refrigerate it. When used to make body butter or lip conditioners, it needs to be gently melted, so it can be used directly from the frig. Hope this helps! KK

How about storing it in the freezer after you empty it? might get brittle though...

I have had it for over a year and keep it in a container in the refrigerator. You can also keep it in a freezer and it should last lfor quite a long time.

I have frozen this product and had good results. I would not leave it more than a year though. Unopened this will keep in a cabinet for months but I would refrigerate or freeze after opening

You use what you've mixed up at that time. It will store, I understand, for a few days in the refrigerator if not totally used at the time. You need to beat it again to get the air back into the mix again at that time. If you keep it longer than that, it will dry out or spoil. The package was smaller than I'd pictured, also.

No, you don't have to store it in the freezer, a cool dry place is fine. I stored my left over amount in the freezer so that it would keep longer and I wouldn't lose it. I am still using cultures from the original buttermilk made and don't think I will ever need to use the rest unless something bad happens like I drop the last bit on the floor before making a new batch.

I store mine in a small glass canister with a screw-on lid. Keep it on my counter next to other canisters with coffee and sugar. Never had a problem, so far.

It may depend on your storage conditions. I had leftover soygel that I used a year later and it seemed OK. It was stored in a cool place. It may be best to ask the manufacturer.

No need to freeze it. It's dried and powdered. Put the bag in a zip-loc and store it in a dry place. You're never going to get an accurate shelf-life. It will probably last years and years.

It's best stored in a cool dry space. I keep mine sealed in a thick freezer ziplock bag.

You need to store it in a cool dry place, not refrigerated. I,m sure it gets hot in the transport but unless you can get it local you would have to order. Fast delivery will hopefully prevent to much deteriorization.

You can store it in the freezer, but I don't know how long that will extend the life span. If you don't use it at least weekly, it might be better just to stick with the packets.

This will last a very long time....After you use it for the first time you must keep it refrigerated....I freeze mine and until I am ready to use it again

Store it in your freezer! It will not solidify, and it lasts for many months there! I keep my Flaxseed, almond flour, and coconut flour in the freezer and take out as much as I need whenever I need it! :)
