Storage Time

Up to 2 years in the pantry when stored correctly; cooked vermicelli lasts 3-4 days in the refrigerator.

Temperature

Store dry vermicelli in a cool, dry place, ideally between 15-21°C (59-70°F).

Freezing

Cooked vermicelli pasta can be frozen for longer storage. Allow cooked pasta to cool completely, then portion it into airtight containers or freezer bags, removing as much air as possible. To thaw, place the frozen pasta in the refrigerator overnight or reheat gently in a saucepan with a little water or sauce. Freezing may slightly alter the texture, making it a bit softer upon thawing.

Signs of Spoilage

• Presence of mold or discoloration on the dry pasta.
• An off, musty, or rancid odor emanating from the package.
• Cooked pasta becoming excessively sticky, slimy, or developing a sour smell.
