Ground coffee has a shelf life of approximately 24 months, but even so, it’s a product that, when stored properly, away from light and heat, can be consumed up to a year after the expiration date printed on the packaging. Coffee, stored in its original packaging, is not subject to deterioration because it’s vacuum-sealed: no oxygen, no bacteria, and, above all, no loss of all the organoleptic characteristics that make it so special.

Vinegar is produced through the fermentation of wine, which is then “attacked” by a series of bacteria. This process makes the vinegar not only a delicious condiment but also an excellent preservative and, most importantly, it is impervious to spoilage. Store it in the pantry, away from light and heat sources: there it can keep for years, always ready for recipes.
