How Much Does It Make?

How Do I Store My Ingredients?

We ship these products Australia wide, however, this kit contains ingredients that do require long term storage in a freezer, on arrival. Extended time out of a freezer will decrease the shelf life.

Shelf Life of Cultures:

When stored correctly, freeze-dried lactic cultures are typically viable long after any date on the pack.
