Since the Lior tahini has no expiration date on it....How long is it good for opened and in the refrigerator?

I keep 1 jar in the refrigerator and 1 at my office in a (68-70 degree) room-temperature cabinet. The latter lasts a month without a problem. I would not keep it in a warm environment without refrigeration. I don't know how long it would last in the refrigerator because we finish a jar every 1-2 weeks.

Think of it like peanut butter. It really doesn't need refrigeration and it is good as long as it does not taste bitter- in which case it is likely rancid.

Unopened, stored above the stove in my un-airconditioned Southern California home, after six months it was fine.

I don't really know. It needs to be refrigerated after opening, but the "best by" date is over two years out.

I don't know about this one because I mailed it to my sister in another part of town. The one I use has an expiration date of one year if unopened. But once you open it, it is only good for a month or 3 months max and keep it refrigerated after opening.

I keep it in the refrigerator to extend its freshness. Not sure of the expiration date, but it will get old much faster if it is at room temperature.

It doesn't need to be refrigerated after opening. I would imagine it would last a long time but I'm not the best to answer that part because mine is gone within a month! Actually, yes it does last. I have another flavor that I don't use as much and it's just fine.

Not sure on shelf life, but I've kept mine in the frig over a year and it is fine. Just make it is well sealed so it doesn't pick up other flavors. I have two fridges so I keep it with the beverages. Hope this helps some.

I always refrigerate mine. Not sure what the shelf life is, as it doesn't last that long in our home.

Five or six months is fine, I think. Refrigerating extends the life by about a month I would say (though I've never had mine go bad really, just noticed a slight shift in scent).

I believe it will be fine for a long time, as it is sealed in a way that does not allow any air to enter, which would be the cause of spoilage. If you use it every day, it should last 8 weeks.

Expiration dates are marked on the boxes; mine expire March 2015. The contents appear vacuum packed (no air) so I imagine it would have a similar shelf life to a canned good. I do not know how long an open package (refrigerated) would last but I would expect at least a couple weeks (i.e. a little longer than cows milk, perhaps).

Mine was fine opened and covered in the refridgerator for a few months. Probably not the best idea, but it was fine. I have another brand unopened on the shelf, last I opened one it was fine.

Sealed, it stays fresh pretty much as long as you would want, even if not kept in the refrigerator. I've never had any go bad, but I would guess months. Open, it will dry out, but I don't expect it to spoil.

All I can say is, I checked my "Best by" date and it was 12/14. I will probably go through a case by then. A biiger question is: Does it have to be refrigerated after opening. I don't know, probably not. I base that on the facts that 1) there is not a lot of refrigeration in S. Viet Nam and, 2) It is fermented. Nonetheless, I do keep mine in the fridge once the bottle is opened. I go through it pretty quick since it goes in 90% of what I cook.

Hi Barbara..I bought this on April 2 2013 and the bottle says it is "Best Used by 5-28-2014". Once this has been opened it needs to be kept in the fridge. We have used this for many years, and as long as the container is kept closed and refridgerated, and nothing is added to the sauce, it's last several months after the date. Hope this helps!

Hey Patricia. There is no shelf life. I would just refrigerate after you open the container.

I remeber reading something about its long shelf life. I have a box that has two dates 2006 /2016 so Im thinking its good for 8/10 years. If you have a box your unsure of I would shake it well before use to mix it all up again.

Mine had an expiration date written on the back label. It was literally written with what looked like a fine point magic marker. It was dated for at least three or years out. If you wanted to keep it for longer than that I would imagine it would be better to keep it in glass, but honestly I don't think true shilajit expires. After all, it is already centuries if not thousands of years old itself, right?
