Shelf Life & Storage Tips</label>

Kefir should last about 2-3 weeks after you receive it. But, of course, once it's opened there are so many variables that can affect shelf life (time out of the fridge, contaminants getting in, etc).<br><br>
Make sure to keep your kefir in the back of the fridge on the bottom shelf. That's where the temperatures stay cool and consistent, creating the ideal environment to maintain the freshness of your milk. By keeping it at the back, away from any temperature fluctuations, you're ensuring that every cup remains as delicious as the first!

<strong>Can I freeze kefir?</strong><br>
We don’t recommend freezing kefir. The consistency will change a lot. It will likely separate and become clumpy or grainy.</br></br></br></br></br></div>

First, the milk is low-heat VAT pasteurized. It's slowly heated to 145°F (the lowest temperature allowed), then held at that temperature for 30 minutes, and then immediately cooled down.<br><br>
This method ensures that the final kefir is as nutrient-rich as possible and that the flavor is top-notch. Plus, the milk is never homogenized.<br><br>
Making the pasteurized milk into kefir is a straightforward, honest process for us. Here’s a glimpse into our no-fuss method:<br>
1. We warm our 100% grass-fed, pasture-raised milk to 80°F.<br>
2. A touch of freeze dried culture is mixed in.<br>
3. Into the culturing room it goes! The kefir stays there for 12 hours at 110°F.<br>
4. After a final stir, it's all set to be bottled.

The milk used to make this kefir is pasteurized, which means that microorganisms, fatty acids, and minerals are altered.<br><br>
The kefir is packaged in HDPE plastic, which is the most environmentally stable of all plastics. It does not contain BPA, phthalates, heavy metals, harmful fumes, or allergens. But all plastic has the potential to leach chemicals.
