How long does it stay fresh after you open the bag

I seal mine up in an airtight container as soon as I open it. A five pound bag last me a month and the last grind is as fresh as the first.

Unfortunately, the bag is not resealable. I simple repacked it into an old PB2 bottle than used a family member's bag sealer machine to store the rest. I think its shelf life will aide it to last a few months as long as you don't introduce it to moisture. I have stored it in the pantry for a few months in mason jars and it was fine by me. :)

I usually leave the box opened for a ~3 months maybe 4 the most as I consume a LOT of it. I haven't noticed any problems in that timeframe as the little grains are as hard as the day I opened the bag and taste as good as the first day. I suppose if you can, use large jars of sorts to prevent too much moisture to get in the grains. Pablo

I often order half a dozen bags at a time and store unopened bags in the pantry. I've stored them for as long as 2 months (depending on the expiration date) and they were fine upon opening.

I keep the unopened packages on a cupboard. Once opened I store the bag in the fridge - but I bought a large bag and didn't eat them quick enough and the got moldy - but that was after a few weeks in the fridge!

It will last indefinitely as long as you don't open the bag, or if you do open it, the product stays 100% dry. Moisture is the enemy. I bought mine a few months ago but will not be using it until late March.

It states it stays fresh up to 2 weeks. The longest mine has lasted has only been 1.5 weeks and it was as wonderful at the end as it was at the beginning!

I have had my bottle for a long time and it is still fresh. I think as long as you don't leave it open it will last a good while, I love it.

I emptied this bag in 5 installments, each 4-5 days apart, and kept it tightly sealed in between. It stayed fresh

My two eleven month-old cats consume one 15-lb. bag about every 7-8 weeks, so I haven't stored any of this food long enough to provide you with a reliable answer. However, the bag is plastic and sealed shut, not just sewn across the top, so it should maintain freshness longer than many others.

Unsealed it seems to stay fresh for manynmonths. I bought a bunch in December and it is still good. Opened it seems to stay fresh for months also.

About 2 years if resealed and properly stored. I keep mine in a drawer and the bag (if opened correctly) can be resealed. If you store it in sunlight, it'll go bad quickly. As well if you store it a container that lets a lot of oxygen in, it wont keep as long either. My cacao doesn't even last more than a couple of months so this isn't really a problem for me, but my husband and I drink warm cacao every morning and usually add it to our smoothies for its added nutritional content and vitamins. Its also a great source of magnesium which most diets are really lacking in. Hope I answered your question well enough. Oh and nestle's cocoa lasts about 6 months shelf life and has zero nutritional benefits. You can also use this in many, many recipes! I'm working on a cookbook series that will include how to use this, in the next few months! If you want more health fact information you can subscribe to my newsletter at www.bestfood4life.com. If you have any additional questions you'd like to ask me personally you can contact me directly there as well. Enjoy your cacao powder!!

I've had an opened one in the refrigerator in a ziplock bag for at least a month and a half and it still tastes the same as it did when I first opened it. The shelf life for the unopened packages are supposed to be 9 months. I've only had mine for about 2 but they still look just like they did when I got them.

I had a bag that I didn't open for 2 months and they were still just as fresh as the bag that was openned immediately after I received them...

I keep mine in a large glass jar so I can seal it tightly and keep out moisture. I generally use the full bag within 3 months and have not had any problems, although in a humid zone you may need to worry about mold. My sister has let hers go over six months without issue, but for best usage I would perhaps freeze a portion if you aren't going to be using it regularly.

I have two dogs so the large bag lasts a month. I keep it in a rubbermaid container so it stays fresh.

The bag will have the flour's expiration date printed right on it. It's usually about 6 months out from the time of purchase (or it as been so in my experience with purchasing the flour through Amazon. I keep mine in a large airtight jar and it stays fresh through the use-by date, and probably longer if it were to last that long in my house.
