If I order a bag or two of these, how long can it last in the refrigerator, opened and unopened?

opened --several months Don't know about unopened they never last more than a week or two before they are opened.

I've kept them in a tupperware container in the refrigerator as long as 3 months.

The last time I bought a pack of these was a little more than a year ago while I was in the US and now I am back in Turkey. In case the company is still packing the same kind and/or quality of those olives, then I would say that an opened bag. when divided into several fridge bags or containers, should easily last for around a month. In our case, we- with my spouse- ate them all within a couple of weeks. For an unopened bag, I would think, it should be fine for another month but not much beyond that. Olives being kept in the refridgerator produces a whitish membrane (especially the green and/or pinkish ones) after 1.5-2 months, and that should go away when you wash them for a while under warm tap water. If I am a first time buyer of these olives, I would ideally buy a pack of them and if all is well order the next close to first bag's being finished. Bottomline, those olives (if they are still the same) will please you qualitywise. Cheers,

Really like the olives at first but a lot of the olives were too soft or too mushy. If you buy this mix bag of olives I would highly recommend that you separate the olives.....the firm ones from the soft and mushy ones and put them in separate bags or glass containers. The red and back olives which are "soft and mushy" are supposed to be that way since the olives are ripe opposed to the green olives which are picked and brine before they mature. As far as how long it last in the refrigerator, mine only lasted about a week because I ate all the green olives and then tossed the rest of the bag away.

It has a very long shelf life ... My last purchase this year has an expiration of 7/2016 If you have a bag..it's located on the back at the bottom.

I believe the bag is air tight, but not airless. Also I've never noticed them go stale at all from being in the open air for months.

Oh, I just saw on the bag that refrigeration is recommended after opening. Oops! They're still good, I've had them for about a month or little more.

Mine was fine opened and covered in the refridgerator for a few months. Probably not the best idea, but it was fine. I have another brand unopened on the shelf, last I opened one it was fine.

I've had unopened ones sitting around for a month or so now, and they taste exactly the same as the fresher ones. Opened, I'd say you still have at least a couple of weeks. They seem to be a largely dehydrated product, so from my experience they seem unlikely to perish for a really long time.

Unopened I think it should last several months. Opened and refrigerated, I have had containers last as long as 3 months (at which point I used up all of the gochujang - it did not go bad)

Once opened, it should be refrigerated or frozen. Unopened, I've kept it on the shelf for several months without spoiling.

The package was sealed air tight in thick foil. I don't know about unopened shelf life but my open package kept fine in the refrigerator for many months.

I've had an opened one in the refrigerator in a ziplock bag for at least a month and a half and it still tastes the same as it did when I first opened it. The shelf life for the unopened packages are supposed to be 9 months. I've only had mine for about 2 but they still look just like they did when I got them.

The unopened jar I have in my pantry at present has a 9/2015 expiration date. I think you would be safe to order now.

As packaged they should last awile. If you open it to see what's in it, you might want to put it in the freezer. I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone.

I keep it in the refrigerator after opening and use it within a month. Unopened on the self not sure I would contact manufacturer

My bag says to store in a cool dry place, and that they keep "best" in fridge or freezer. If you are thinking 25 years, then they would probably need to be frozen. The expiration date on my bag was stickered over, so I can't tell what it is. Maybe the manufacturer would have more precise info on shelf life.

It should be good for a year. I keep my unopened bags in the freezer where they last indefinitely.

I dont know the shelf life of an un opened bag. I go through the 4 pounds about every 4 months and even the last one opened seems fresh as the first one. I have not had a problem with spoilage. They are dry seeds, dont see any need for refrigeration.

According to a website I found on Google, six months in the refrigerator. I put them in snack bags so it's handy to grab one rather than open the whole hulking 4-lb. bag each time.
