Will this stay good for a while if kept cold? Is it a good idea to order in bulk?

I've heard it could go rancid. I keep mine in the refrigerator just in case. I wouldn't buy it in bulk, but that's just a personal choice.

Yes, it stays good in the fridge. If bulk means more than a 16 oz bottle, I'd say not necessary...the oil is pretty strong, and a little goes a long way.

It arrived in great condition for me, but it was colder when i last ordered. i could imagine that there might be the possibility of melting if shipped in the summer. hope this helps.

If you buy it by the case, yes , It will keep better if you freeze it. One or two will keep several days in the fridge.

I would like to know if this can be frozen, and not change the attributes of the product. Also, what is the shelf life if unfrozen?

Yes...BUT... Like all unprocessed oils cold preserves the integrity of the omega 3 content (I keep mine in the freezer for maximum preservation because it stays liquid), however, unlike most perishables it does not need continuous cold to prevent spoiling. This is why it can be shipped in a normal box. As long as it is kept cold most of the time and especially after it is opened it will be fine (same goes for flax oil). If it gets warm after opening it needs to be used up pretty quick or it will start to go bad. I recommend alternating between hemp and flax for maximum omega fatty acid nutrition. Yes...BUT...

Yes this should stay refrigerated. Honestly I don't remember if it arrived with dry ice but you certainly should request it!

if kept refrigerated it's good for about 6 months? but up to/over a year in the freezer is my experience. flavor stays fresh- no texture problems either.

The longer you store it, the more the flavor will deteriorate. You can freeze the whole bag and take it out before you start using it, if you like. I wouldn't plan to keep it longer than 3 months.

This amazing high potency powder will keep for a very long time providing it is stored in a cool place(pantry) and away from sunlight. A very long life expectancy due to its very minimal usage/dosage recommendations by the manufacturer. On a daily basis half of a tea spoon is the recommended amount; and when you feel a cold creeping along............, then you increase the dose to a full tea spoon. This is the recommended dosage by a very reputable doctor who swears ascorbic acid is the best fighter for colds and overall fighter to boost the body's defense mechanism naturally. So, don't worry about expiration date or limits; as long as it is stored tightly closed and in a cool temperature. I have been taking the ascorbic acid and I can attest to its positive and natural results. M. Ceballos

If kept refrigerated, will last for awhile. Or keep in the freezer for longer.

Yes, it does keep well. There is a "best by date" on the bottom of bottle. I do not refrigerate the product, and have never found it to go bad.

I would say yes, definitely. It's all natural, so no preservatives. It maintains a nice, easy-to-spread consistency even when cold. (Stir up well *before* refrigerating!) UPDATE: After posting, I saw the other comments. I guess it's a matter of choice and preference. If you eat within a reasonable time, maybe spoilage is not an issue? I still say it's pretty easy to spread when cold, unlike the all-natural peanut butter I get at Costco...

We only took about three months to finish it so unsure beyond that. I just kept it in the cupboard. If you want it cold to add to sodas I'd keep it in the fridge. It is quite good. I never thought to store it any other way as I see it kept on the shelf at coffee shops.

Put it in a baggie & keep unused units it in the frig and it will last many months longer after buying. Not the freezer. Let the one your going to use warm-up before using. BE CERTAIN your TRAY is DRY inside before applying also. >I don't see an expiration or sell by date on mine. If it comes out easy/runny it's still good when applying. My extra I haven't used up yet was still good 1 month ago when I last used some. Never got an order that wasn't FRESH. Best it to order/use only what you will need over a 6-8 month period. 35% is the way to go. REMEMBER the key is> DRY TRAYS!

Hi there,If the packet still close, yes is good!After open must to keep it in frozen! I mean it in the freezer! If you keep with the same liquid they don't really frozen!

Yes it ships cold. These have no preservatives so have to remain chilled to remain good. I've had no problems with getting any of these warm.

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
