What is the shelf life of your products?

The shelf life of products at Dean & Deluca varies depending on the type of product in question. For perishable items such as fresh produce, dairy, and prepared foods, it is generally recommended to consume them within a few days of purchase, as these items have a much shorter shelf life. Dry goods, such as pasta, grains, and canned items, often have a considerably longer shelf life, which can range from several months to years depending on the specific product and how it is stored. For gourmet items like sauces, jams, and snacks, the shelf life can also differ significantly. It is important to check the packaging for best-by or use-by dates, as these provide guidance on optimal freshness. Generally, foods with lower moisture content tend to last longer than high-moisture items.
