Our tortillas do not contain any additives or preservatives so they need to be kept refrigerated.
When you buy from at a local farmer’s market, the tortillas are typically fresh, not frozen, and you can keep them in the fridge for about 7 days from the “packed on” date. If you think it will take you longer than a week to consume them, you should freeze them.

The Mexican government is currently working to make this part of the Constitution. This is meant to protect the biodiversity of the many species of corn that are native to, and were first cultivated in, Mexico. It is also meant to protect Mexico’s food sovereignty.
