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).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nMake 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 kefir. By keeping it at the back, away from any temperature fluctuations, you're ensuring that every cup remains as delicious as the first!\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eCan I freeze kefir?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   \nWe don’t recommend freezing kefir. The consistency will change a lot. It will likely separate and become clumpy or grainy, which may not be the best eating experience for your furry family.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n  \u003cinput type=\"checkbox\" id=\"question6\" name=\"q\" class=\"questions\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"plus\"\u003e+\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003clabel for=\"question6\" class=\"question\"\u003e\n    Feeding Suggestions\u003c\/label\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"answers\"\u003e\nPour into a bowl for you cat or dog to lap up.

That’s why our pet food is made in the same way that we would prepare food for ourselves - with the highest quality farming standards, a straightforward process, and extreme attention to detail.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are your milk safety standards?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nMilk safety is a top priority. Although it's not required for raw pet milk, Miller's Bio Farm is certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture for raw milk production and bottling for humans in PA. We also go above and beyond what's \"required\" for that certification by testing every batch of milk on site for general bacteria counts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is kefir?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e   \nIt’s a fermented milk drink. It’s tangy, similar to yogurt, but sourer. Our kefir will almost always be more sour than sweet, and will likely be more sour than store bought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Kefir is watery on top. What should I do?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSeparation with kefir is perfectly normal. You simply need to shake to recombine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is it fermented for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOur kefir is fermented overnight for about 12 hours.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eCan I make my own kefir with it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a contested issue. You might experience some kitchen magic and be able to make more kefir starting with our kefir at home. But, for the best possibility of success, you should start with real kefir grains. You won't find that in this product, as we strain out the grains before bottling it.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat breed are your buffalo?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nOur buffalo are Swamp and River Water Buffalo breeds from India.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the buffalo fed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe buffalo are 100% grass-fed and truly pastured in regenerated fields. They are outside as much as the weather allows. They're fed fresh pasture in the warmer months and dry pasture in the colder months.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs your buffalo milk A2\/A2?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes! All buffalo naturally produce A2\/A2 milk. This is because buffalo (and all mammals) did not undergo a genetic mutation like cows did.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoes all of your buffalo milk come from one farm?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes, all buffalo milk comes from Buffalo Valley Pastures.\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n\u003cdiv\u003e\n  \u003cinput type=\"checkbox\" id=\"question5\" name=\"q\" class=\"questions\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"plus\"\u003e+\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003clabel for=\"question5\" class=\"question\"\u003e\n    How it's Made\u003c\/label\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"answers\"\u003e\nOur kefir is made simply:\u003cbr\u003e\n1.

These grains have been passed down in our community for generations.\u003cbr\u003e\n3. Into the culturing room it goes! The kefir stays there for 12 hours at no more than 110°F.\u003cbr\u003e\n4.
