After thawing, how long does the puree stay fresh? I would not be using a big quanity with each use!

I always thaw only the quantity I need, the rest stays in the freezer.i can't imagine keeping it more than 48-72 hours by itself. You could always ask the vendor?

I never let it thaw. I scrape off the amount I need, and let that portion thaw.

I thawed and refroze in ice cube trays and keep in freezer bag. Great product!

Good Morning Mona!The product will stay fresh if refrigerated for 7-10 days. And frozen for up to 2 years from the date of manufacture. However if you are unable to use the whole container in that time, we recommend thawing, freezing into ice cube trays to place in a zip lock bag to pull out at your convenience. Hope that you find this helpful!Customer ServiceThe Perfect Puree of Napa Valley

The longest I've left in the refrigerator was 4 days. I also don't use big quantities at a time... So mine stays frozen. One of those spoons to scoop ice cream works great. It allows me to scoop as much or as little I want.

I can't tell you how long after thawing, but I keep mine frozen, and I have had it in the for freezer over 1 year. It is still good, and the bottle has not expired. When I need some, I scoop it out like ice-cream and thaw only what I plan to use.

well, so far, I've defrosted and it has been a few weeks and it is fine. I'm thinking you could maybe refreeze?

You should refrigerate it after you mix it with water. It will keep in the fridge for about two weeks. Or you can freeze unused portions in an ice cube tray and keep for months. The unmixed powder does not need to be refrigerated.

I don't have a ton of experience with this product. But from my two orders, it was still fresh for about 72 hours. One time it was all gone after 48 hours, the other time it almost made it three days. I don't recall a significant drop in freshness either time. But there may have been a slight drop by the third day, that I don't recall. We kept it in the bag it came in.

Manufacturer recommends thawing first, otherwise the texture and/or quality of the food may be compromised. If you try it, H. Lott's answer would provide a cautious approach.

I have pureed and frozen both and found that both can pop out easily. However, I found when I use less water in the puree process prior to freezing, the frozen puree doesn't become as solid and is stickier and then I have a harder time removing them from the tray. Ultimately though, silicon is the easiest and if I happen to use not enough water (assuming that I'm going to add some in the steaming/thawing process) and it's very sticky putty consistency, I just take a spoon (or my clean fingers) and scoop it out, something I can't do with any other container.

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.

I mix mine with frozen brine shrimp and freeze the leftovers, then thaw it when I am ready to use it again. I think it's fine.

I never refrigerate it, I just leave it in the pantry and I've never had any problem with it going bad. But I'd suggest trying an ice cream scoop to get it out of the jar when it's cold. You could probably microwave the whole jar but I don't know how it would affect the quality if you kept doing that to the whole container every time you want to use it.

Like the other poster said, my bottle was in the fridge for at least a year before I started using it, and I had already opened it. It was fine. So long as you keep it refrigerated it will last a very long time. I am guessing the acidity level and the fact that it is concentrated, is what helps keep this fresh.

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.

The best by date is about a year from when I got mine, however if you keep it in the freezer it will last for a couple of years. You will have to let it come to room temp before you use it in recipes or you might have some abnormal results.

I didn't even freeze or refrig mine and I've already finished one pouch since I shared it. The resealable pouch seemed to keep it pretty well. But, I would probably keep it in the fridge. I don't think freezing it will do any harm.

Two years at room temp (it will darken) at least, indefinitely in the fridge. The paste is quite acidic so it isnt prone to spoilage.

I'm sorry, I don't know the answer to that. I have never had it long enough to need to freeze it. I can tell you that it is delicious and I use it in a variety of ways. The packaging is such that it keeps for quite a while without needing to be frozen, but I do refrigerate once opened.

It doesn't come frozen. It will keep for one week on the counter, 21 days in the fridge and 180 days in the freezer according to the company's site.

I usually put in fridge if using within 2-3 days. Otherwise I freeze, usually I use that within a couple of weeks but I am sure it stays good longer in feezer

You could do that. I just kept it in the refrig and it was fine for 4 months due to the salt content. Just ate the last of it 2 days ago. Still had good texture, though some of the skinnier ends were dry and had to be cut away.
