Ground Cacao has a shelf life of 6 months. How do you know these grounds aren't old?

Don't know. But cocoa scent is very strong when opened and flavor good. I've never had a bad bag from crio bru

I'm not familiar with that, but I have always had the result I was looking for from the product.

There is a "best before" date on the back of the bag. I have used mine after this date, it is probably not as fresh, but still good. The grounds do have a lighter appearance as they age. Still very tasty, though.

As far as I know, it's several years. Keep it tightly closed and in a pantry or cabinet out of the sun. I had one bottle that lasted over four years without losing flavor or going bad.

I discovered some that I left in the freezer that were over 4 years old. They still taste great. I keep all of this kind of stuff in the freezer because it always tastes fresher, and extends the shelf life by double or triple what is printed on the package.

My understanding is it depends on how it is stored. I wouldn't keep it more than 6 months. There seems to be an ordor about it. The company did not give anyinformation when I bought it and there is no information on the jar. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Mine says it was bottled on 11/1/2013 and has a 3 year shelf life. I got it today (5/12/14), so it did sit for almost 6 months meaning I get 2.5 years of use out of it. I'm sure I'll use it all up in that time frame though, even just using a few drops at a time maybe a couple times per day.

According to the company, they have a shelf life of 4 years. However, there's no way of knowing exactly how long the batch you buy has been sitting around...

My Godiva coffee is Chocolate Truffle. I freeze several bags - keeps them fresh until I need them. My current bag I'm using has an exp date of March 2014. I just got it out of the freezer about a week ago. Still taste wonderful - good to the last drop.

Once opened the shelf life is six months to a year. You don't have to refrigerate after opening.

The manufacturer states that the shelf life is 18 months when I called them. I am not getting good results from my tests. Non of the tests show any color after several tries. The manufacturer is sending me some FRESH test samples. I hope that solves the problem. I notice that one of the other commenters also has clay soil.

I would avoid any coffee that has an expiration date. ALWAYS buy your fresh roasted coffee beans with a 'Roasted on' date. Freshly roasted coffee only has a shelf life of about 3 weeks. The beans will off gas as well so the packaging needs to have a one way vent (allows off gasses to escape but prevents oxygen from entering). If you are buying your coffee with an expiration date, you are buying old stale coffee, 100% guaranteed. Do a little research.

I'm sorry, but I don't know what the shelf life is. It looks exactly like granulated sugar so I would assume as long as it is kept in an air tight container it would last a rather long time. I use it for baking and it has taken me at least 4 months to use the 5 pounds. Have only good/great things to say about the product.

It has a 24 month shelf life. The production and expiration dates are on the bottom of the can in day/month/year format

i purchase from a different website and it has a 2 year shelf life. not sure what these dates are.

The "date best used by" has always been at least one year from the date I've purchased these. I am not sure about the "shelf life" because they ALWAYS get eaten within a few months - I buy them by the case. I store them in the cupboard in the kitchen, and they have never lost their crispiness, flavor or any quality.

I do know what the shelf life is as I buy two boxes every month and drink them daily. The drink pouches are sealed. Sorry I can not help more

I have stored a bag on my kitchen shelf for six months and it's still sprouting well when used. (I keep the bag closed so the seeds do not dry out.)

I'm sorry, I bought this a long time ago. I don't remember the shelf life. It was well sealed, so I doubt additional sealing would help.
