Technical Specifications & Storage

Storage & Handling Note: Critical care must be taken during storage and shipment to avoid damaging the delicate flavor profile. Shortening, no matter how securely packaged, will readily absorb ambient aromas if stored near items giving off strong odors. Always store in a dedicated, odor-free, temperature-controlled environment. This product is recommended to be shipped with insulated shipping to prevent melting in transit. Product is not guaranteed to ship in its original condition without installation and expedited shipping of two days or faster.
