Store in a dry, ventilated place, at a temperature not exceeding 22°C/71.6°F, like in your pantry!
In these conditions, Chella is good for up to 6 months. However, fresh Chella always tastes better. If stored for a longer period of time, a white coating may appear, don't be alarmed! This is the natural sugar coming to the surface as it dries. This is the process that allows Chella to keep for so long without any preservatives (natural sugar from fruit juice acts as a preservative).
