04 / How to store
Keep its
character.
A little care protects the freshness, green colour and aroma you opened the pack to enjoy.
Let the sealed pack warm first.
After refrigeration, allow it to reach room temperature before opening. This helps prevent condensation on the powder.
Protect from the everyday.
Avoid heat, light, humidity and strong food odours. Use a clean, dry scoop and reseal promptly after each use.
Open to enjoy.
Enjoy soon after opening, while its aroma is fresh. Follow the storage instructions and best-before date printed on your pack.
Four cultivars. One origin.
