Do you know anything about how it was prepared? How do you store it until shipped to a customer?

hello thank you for your question. this is taken from a tree, and is prepared in large quantities in Africa. I have it shipped in 100 pound crate boxes, wrapped in a saran wrap felt type wax food grade paper. i store it in a dark room at room temperature and I leave it wrapped in the wax felt paper that it came in. I then, slice 1 pound chunks and wrap it in saran wrap put it in a ziplock bag and wrap it with bubble wrap

the storage is key, if not done properly, it will melt especially living in Florida

Hello the Shea I sell is hand made pressed into blocked. I store it in a warehouse, it does not expire.

I've stored the product for years. It come in two separate containers so when you are ready to use it just mix equal parts together.

Sorry, I don't have an appropriate answer for that since I only mix what I'm going to use right away. However, since there are no preservatives in the product, I would probably refrigerate it if not used within a couple of hours.

Store it in the freezer. I have used it for 3 years and it performs great! No worries!

I never looked. Based on my lab experience I can tell you that you can store it for years. Just keep it away from moisture.

I order it quite often. I store it in a cool, dry place no have had no problems. Once in a while it will be hard, but when mixed with hot water, its fine. Hope this helps. Good product.

Don't worry about it's package condition at all. In my case, how to pack the knife was enough to protect it from any physical shock or impact during shipment.There was full of vinil with injected air and ball shaped newspapers surrounding my knife in thick and hard carton box. I hope this will be helpful for your purchase decision. Thank you.

I've had mine for six months, opened, but stored in a ziploc bag. It's in good, granular form, I bake with it a lot. I would imagine you could store it indefinitely in the heat sealed foil bag it comes in. I recommend this stuff, it's wonderful.

I put the box in a ziploc bag. If I will be storing for a longer period of time I would put it in a Mason jar. Hope this helps ;)

It comes Vacuum packed so it's important to Refrigerate after opening to maintain quality.And If you have purchased a larger quantity you can even put it in the Freezer.

I put the whole box in the fridge. In that way the various parts don't get separated and lost. I take out what I need for my monthly test a little over 2 hours prior to use.

I put the inside packet tightly sealed inside a zip-close plastic bag; then in the tin it comes in [because I really like it]; then put the tin inside a 2nd zip-close bag; then put it in the freezer. I've kept it in virtually perfect condition for at least a year. Also have an unopened tin in the freezer for backup!

keep it cool & dry. My nutritionist told me to store it in my refrigerator to ensure optimal nutrition.

It should be kept refrigerated. It's kept that way in stores, and most mail order retailers ship it cold. I would not order in summer, because they didn't cold package it.

How about storing it in the freezer after you empty it? might get brittle though...

Good question. I'm not sure if it has to be refrigerated, but I never did. I just kept it in a cool place out of sunlight and away from areas of increased heat. Maybe contacting the company would provide you with a more specific answer.

Im not sure? it's not sealed so im not sure. Though the item inside is packed in clear plastic then taped.
