Storage and shelf life
To maintain peak quality and flavour, proper storage is essential. Therefore, we recommend keeping our malt in a cool, dry, and pest-free environment with temperatures below 20°C (68°F). High humidity can negatively affect freshness, so it is important to store malt in a controlled setting. Depending on the type of malt, it is best used within 6 to 18 months from the manufacturing date. However, each bag includes a Best Before date to ensure optimal usage.
All our malts conform to EU and international regulations. Furthermore, we transport them exclusively via GMP-certified carriers to guarantee the highest standards in safety and hygiene. Please keep in mind that improperly stored malts may lose freshness and flavour more quickly.
