How long will this marzipan keep fresh after opening? (Would you recommend refrigeration to extend freshness...and for how long before it goes bad/unfresh?) Thanks!

This marzipan has excellent quality and taste. I opened the plastic container about 1 month ago, and made cake toppers for my son's birthday, I put the used and unused portions back in fridge. His birthday was yesterday. We all tasted the marzipan toppers. They are still fresh just as the unused portion although they had been sitting in the fridge for min. 3 weeks uncovered. The unused portion is just as fresh as 1 month ago, when I got it and opened it. I kept it in the fridge all the time, but I don't think it's necessary. I think either in the fridge or at room temperature it's still going to be fresh for several more months. This marzipan has excellent quality and taste.

I think if sealed in a bag air tight , it is ok for quite a long time. English wedding cakes last for a year, as pieces of it are sent to people not able to come to the party, and eaten then. Same goes with Xmas cakes. Just ake sure it is sealed tight and if in a cake covered with sugar icing .Hope the info helps

I have kept marzipan in the past in an airtight container in the refrigerator for over 12 months... And it was fine once back at room temperature it became pliable and easy to roll. But make sure it is kept airtight else it will harden.

what is the best way to store? in the past a drop of water in a bag in the fridge would keep it moist to pop better, any other suggestions about best storage re: freshness:-)

I have stored it overnight, however, what I usually do is cool what is left over in the refrigerator, then I cut it into pieces and wrap in plastic wrap then place into a freeqer bag. I have been doing this and it is always delicious. Good luck, Andi

I always refrigerate mine after opening, once I didn't and got mold growing on top, so every since in the fridge it goes once opened...plus it gives it a better shelf life, and keeps the nutrients intake. . .

I refrigerate mine after opening. Every food blog that uses miso recommends it. Look under the nutrition table and ingredient list. It says Refrigerate after Opening, in italics.

The bottle says "store in a cool, dry place, best if refrigerated after opening." I'm on my fourth bottle of PB8 and I've never refrigerated it. It seems to be fine.

I just bought some, and it has a date of 11/15/15 on it (today is 7/7/14). Plenty of time to use it. Also, for the other commenter asking about refrigeration, the bottle does say "refrigerate after opening". There was more info on all of this at their website redboatfishsauce DOT com

Jennifer, Amazon sent this question request to me in hopes I could provide an answer, How long will it last UNopened? That depends on a lot of variables, but for me, I've had them last up to a month unopened, atmosphere and humidity plays a part in it as well. keep it in a cool dry place, where it doesn't get to hot or to cold. After about a month, it begins to harden somewhat, but I found still edible just as good, the problem I have is keeping it at all, it's so good, it's like going to the a carnival right at home. I like to think, nothing GOOD, last forever (smile). Now you are making me want to order more.

I don't know the shelf life, but yes it needs to be refrigerated after openiing.

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

I had the same question, so I contacted the manufacturer directly. They were very helpful, and said that the product has a shelf life of approximately 1 year. We store it in the pantry, and it's just hit the one-year mark and is almost all used up, and in my opinion it's probably lost a bit of its original flavor, but it's still very good. Time order some more!

Oh, I just saw on the bag that refrigeration is recommended after opening. Oops! They're still good, I've had them for about a month or little more.

Generally I always used within 8hr. But is more due to need than schedule. However, if it was more than 24hr & I only had some left, I threw it out - why bother taking chances. Definitely refrigerate - these thing smell & taste bad in my opinion, opened without refrigeration or cold weather, I don't think is a good idea.

The product is sealed...it should last for quite some time [perhaps a year] if kept cool...a Korean 'grandma' showed me how to preserve it after opening...pour sesame oil on it and refrigerate it...the oil keeps it from drying out and adds a unique 'Korean' taste to it.

It needs to be stored in a cool, dry place. I've never refrigerated it. The jar I just received has a two year pull date; copy on the label says to use within two years of opening.

Yes, I believe it is recommended to keep it in the fridge after opening. Frankly I didn't like the product so whatever purpose you did buy I hope it will be serving you. Good luck. Wish you the best.

I would imagine you should start to use it up soon after opening to retain the freshness but there isn't a whole lot of product so it does not takes years to do this! (It will be gone within a few months of use if used regularly.)
