There is an opinion that in order to obtain good natural vinegar, it must be specially aged for many years. However, this is not true.
Vinegar, like other products, has a limited shelf life, reports ADVICE.NEWS .
This article will tell you how much and how to store white vinegar.
Storage rules
The shelf life of this product in plastic is significantly reduced and is about four years. However, it is important to observe an important condition: vinegar must be kept in a dark room.
The shelf life of 5% table vinegar is on average 1 year.
Table vinegar lasts longer in a glass bottle than in a plastic one.
In this case, it is better to follow the instructions on the shelf life and storage conditions of a specific product, located on the manufacturer’s packaging.
Please note: opened packaging must be stored in the refrigerator.
As for balsamic or apple cider vinegar, they should not be stored in the refrigerator, as they may lose some of their aromatic bouquet.
The bottle with the product should be stored in a cool and dark place.
How to tell if vinegar has gone bad
If sediment appears, then such a product must be disposed of - the vinegar has gone bad and cannot be used.
Important: storing vinegar in the freezer is strictly contraindicated.
