Storage Time

Unopened: up to 1 year in pantry. Opened: 5-7 days in fridge.

Temperature

Store unopened hazelnut milk in a cool, dry pantry. Once opened, keep refrigerated at 0–4°C (32–40°F).

Freezing

Hazelnut milk can be frozen to extend its shelf life, though its texture may change slightly upon thawing. Pour into freezer-safe containers, leaving headspace for expansion, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw slowly in the refrigerator and shake well before use. It may separate, but this is normal and does not affect its safety or edibility.

Signs of Spoilage

• Sour or off smell, distinct from its natural nutty aroma.
• Visible mold growth on the surface or around the rim of the container.
• Significant separation or curdling of the liquid, beyond the usual slight settling.
