It's the question we get most often: how long do spices last? The honest answer is: it depends on how you store them.
The 4 golden rules
- Away from light — opaque bag or tinted jar in a closed cabinet
- Dry — not near the sink, dishwasher steam, or coffee machine
- Cool but not cold — 15-22°C is ideal, not the fridge
- Hermetically sealed — squeeze air out before zipping the bag
Aromatic lifespan
Whole spices: 24-36 months. Ground spices: 12-18 months. Blends: 18 months. Saffron: 24 months (48 if frozen).
