Storage Instructions

Refrigeration:

• Keep your bagoong alamang refrigerated at all times. This will help preserve its freshness and prevent spoilage.
• For optimal flavor, use within 2-3 weeks after opening.

Sealing:

• After each use, tightly seal the jar to prevent air and moisture from entering. This will also help retain the rich aroma and taste.

Do Not Store in Warm Areas:

• Avoid storing the bagoong in areas exposed to heat or direct sunlight, as this can affect its texture and flavor.

Handling Tips

Stir Before Use:

• Since homemade bagoong alamang may have some separation of oil over time, stir it gently before using to ensure an even consistency.

Use Clean Utensils:

• Always use a clean, dry spoon when scooping out the bagoong to prevent contamination.

Avoid Cross-Contamination:

• Do not introduce other ingredients into the jar, such as water or oil, as this can spoil the paste and affect its shelf life.
