What is the "best before" date on the dehydrated garlic in a grinder jar
358149
Specifically in the Drogheria & Alimentari, it is a date before which the flavor would be guaranteed at its peak. I have however actually used a few jars of this that were "lost" and were 6 years after their data - and their quality was not really affected. Of course, you should be careful to consider that it was at least stored in a dry environment as moisture could cause spoilage - but it would be noticeable. If it's within a couple years and shelf stored it should be ok IMHO.

I've used this product for several years. It seems to last for a couple of years beyond the "best buy" date, even if opened. I discovered that when I inadvertently opened a second one while the first was fairly new.

I think the best buy date is the last date they can sell the product. Each bottle lasts me about a year and there is no change in taste as far as I am concerned. Josette, my advice is, use it and enjoy it!

Hi Josette. I have not had a problem with the garlic tasting the same when I open it and the bottom of the jar. It is so good. Before purchasing it from Amazon, I was running from store to store and no one carried it and I was frantic because it is so good. I hope this answers your question.

There is a "Best Before" date printed on the back or bottom of the package. We do not recommend feeding the product after the "Best Before" date.

Peter, that is the date which corresponds to the production date that the manufacturer feels it's the last date to use the product and have the highest standards they set for freshness, flavor, quality. The process of canning had the same standards but it used to be coded, if you called the Company they would ask you the code on the can to determine when and where that can was made. It's still good after that date, well after the date as a matter of fact, it is just on the decline as far as bubble bee is concerned. How that helped.

I had the same question, here is what I found. I bought mine on 8/14/14 and the "Best Before" date was 11/11/15.

Mine says best by Feb ??.............The print is smeared....I am not worried about it..... This " Best By" Date means just that! The quality is best by that date...It doesn't mean you have to throw it out! Just use it in a reasonable period of time after the expiration date....And, I ate one jar of Nutella with 'relish' sometime after the expiration date on the 2nd of March.....And will be serving the second expired jar next week at a family get together......There is so much sugar in this product that it would be impossible for a germ to grow in it !!!

I've had garlic bulbs in the jar for a month and a half accidentally (I totally forgot) and went to crack the bulb open and they were perfectly fine. Not dried out nor spoiled. I love it

Grinding your coffee just before you brew it is literally the single most important thing, maybe after only using fresh beans less than 2-3 weeks old. For the price of this I would suggest getting a Hario hand grinder, keep using your current brew method and get this at a later time.

My product expired 5/14. It list dehydrated vegetables (onion, parsley). No garlic.Hope this helps.

The Best By date is 1/16/15. They're always fresh tasting. If I wanted to store the raisins longer I would empty the containers into mason jars and vacuum seal the jars with a Food Saver machine. These raisins would make a great prepper storage food.

I ordered mine around February. Just now, it's getting caked due to moisture. If you have it in a truly airtight jar, it should keep for a very long time. The little moisture-fighting packet gets less effective after awhile. But then, I'm just finishing it after 7 months.

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.

The "Best Before Date", means that it is the freshest before that date. It does not mean that you have to take it all before that date, or that it goes bad after that date. It is just a recommendation that you take it before that date to insure optimal performance. I have certainly taken it way past that date, and it was still just fine. Just don't take it like a year after that date!

I can't check right know but it was very recent. I was surprised. Ok my wife says best by 2018. My last ounce I had over 6 years. Kept it in fridge it was always good. Goodluck to you

Over a year, from the date on the last one I bought. I got it about 2 months ago.....and the "Best by" date is Aug 2016. I think that as long as you keep it dry, there is not too much that can go bad. And that would seem to corroborated by the long shelf life. Hope this helps.

The company told me it was a "best by" date of one year from purchase. But it is usually good for a few years if properly sealed. I wouldn't recommend this as a food storage item because both jars I received were not sealed. I would recommend another supplier.

I can't remember when I bought this. The best by date is July of 2015. I have never had any spoil. It does recommend storing in a cool dry place. I really like this product and use it often.

I just received my jar and am looking at the storage directions now. "Best By 10/2014. Store in a cool, dry and dark place. Use within 3 months after opening or refrigerate." So what this says to me is that, unopened, it's best by October 2014 (10 months from now). Once opened, it should be used within 2-3 months if stored in a cabinet (someplace dark and cool), OR it can be refrigerated to last longer, although it doesn't specify by how much.
