Expiration & Storage Tips
When does sriracha aioli expire?
An unopened bottle of store-bought sriracha aioli can be kept for about 9 to 12 months past the printed date. Once opened, the sauce should be ideally consumed within one month if stored in the pantry, but can last up to 3 months when refrigerated. If you've made your own sriracha aioli at home, it should be used within 5 to 7 days. In the freezer, it can last up to 3 months, but freezing may result in changes in the texture and quality of the aioli.
How do you tell if sriracha aioli is bad?
To detect if sriracha aioli has gone bad, look out for a change in smell – a rancid, sour or off smell signifies spoilage. The sauce should have a consistent texture and bright red color. If you notice any discoloration, dark spots, mold, or the sauce has become watery, lumpy, or overly thick, it's best to discard the Aioli. Always remember to taste a small portion before using it in your cooking to make sure it hasn't turned sour.
Tips for storing sriracha aioli to extend shelf life
• Always store your sriracha aioli in the refrigerator after opening, as it helps prolong its shelf-life.
• Always use a clean spoon to take out the aioli. Any food particles can introduce bacteria and speed up the spoiling process.
• If you've made a homemade batch, store it in an airtight container and always keep it refrigerated.
• Avoid freezing sriracha aioli whenever possible to maintain its best texture and consistency.
• Double-check the expiry date on store-purchased aioli and aim to consume it within this timeframe.
