Enjoy the creamy goodness of almond milk, a popular dairy-free alternative perfect for smoothies, cereal, or baking. Proper storage ensures its fresh, nutty flavor and nutritional benefits are preserved for your culinary creations.

Storage Time

Unopened: Up to 1 year in pantry. Opened: 5–7 days in refrigerator.

Temperature

Store unopened almond milk in a cool, dry pantry. Once opened, keep refrigerated at or below 4°C (40°F).

Freezing

Yes, almond milk can be frozen to extend its shelf life, though its texture may change slightly upon thawing. Pour almond milk into freezer-safe containers, leaving some headspace for expansion, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and shake well before use. It's best suited for cooking or baking after freezing, as the separation might affect its drinking consistency.

Signs of Spoilage

• Sour or off smell, distinct from its usual nutty aroma.
• Curdled or lumpy texture, indicating separation or spoilage.
• Visible mold growth on the surface or inside the carton.
