Our orders are securely packaged in cold shipping containers. Upon receiving your order it is highly recommended that you refrigerate for 5 hours, to allow gel to settle to its intended consistency. It is recommended to consume refrigerated gel within 2-3 weeks for fruit infused gels, within 3-4 weeks for plain gels. Gel can be frozen for 3-6 months. When ordering more than one jar, it is recommended to freeze additional jars until they’re ready to be consumed.
