Shelf life of donkey milk – What do you need to pay attention to?

The shelf life of donkey milk depends heavily on how it is stored. Here are the most important points:

Fresh donkey milk

• Frozen: Store fresh donkey milk frozen at −18 °C or colder. How long it lasts is stated on the label.
• Thawed: Store thawed donkey milk in the refrigerator and consume it promptly. Please follow the instructions on the label.

Donkey milk powder

• Stored dry: Store our donkey milk powder in a dry place, tightly sealed and at room temperature. You can find the shelf life on the packaging. It is practical for daily use or on the go.

Tips for properly storing donkey milk

1. Thawing frozen milk:
   Thaw the milk slowly in the refrigerator (2–7 °C) to preserve its quality, not at room temperature. We explain this step by step in our instructions for thawing donkey milk.

2. Store refrigerated:
   Once the milk is thawed, always store it in the refrigerator and consume it within the period specified on the label.

3. Properly storing donkey milk powder:
   Store the powder in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Close the packaging carefully after each use.

4. Do not refreeze:
   Once thawed, donkey milk should not be refrozen, as this can impair its quality.

5. Pay attention to signs of freshness:
   Fresh donkey milk has a pleasant, mild smell and taste. If the milk smells or tastes unpleasant, it should no longer be consumed.
