The Best Way to Store Snus: Tips and Tricks for storage of Snus for Maximum Durability

If you’re a fan of snus, you know how important it is to keep it fresh for the best experience. The good news is that storing your snus properly can extend its durability for weeks or even months. In this article, we’ll cover the best ways to store your snus and answer some common questions about snus storage.

Storing Snus in the Refrigerator

One of the most important things to remember about snus is that it is perishable. To keep it fresh for as long as possible, store it in the refrigerator at a temperature between 4-8 degrees Celsius. When properly stored, loose snus can last for up to 14 weeks, while portion snus can last up to 20 weeks.

Freezing Snus for Long-Term Storage

If you plan to store your snus for longer than a few months, freezing is the best option. When frozen, snus can last for up to a year. To freeze snus, store the cans in an airtight freezer bag to prevent drying out. When you’re ready to use it, defrost the snus in the refrigerator to ensure it moisturizes steadily.

Using Old Snus

If your snus gets old and dries out, it’s still safe to use, but the flavor and taste will be affected. To maximize the flavor, use fresh snus whenever possible. However, if you keep your snus cold, it can last much longer than the expiration date indicated on the box.

Mold and Snus

One common concern about snus is whether it can mold. The good news is that snus cannot get moldy. The high salinity and presence of sodium carbonate prevent mold growth. However if you leave portion snus in direct sunlight in a closed container the paper can start to mold, this can only happen to Portion Snus and is extremely rare. A way to 100% prevent mold is to add chemicals to the Snus but we at Siamsnus pride ourselves with staying away from chemicals.

Freezing Snus Repeatedly

While it’s possible to freeze snus repeatedly, each time you freeze it, the moisture and texture may be affected slightly. Therefore, it’s best to freeze snus only once for optimal freshness.

Moisturizing Dried Out Snus

If your snus has dried out and you want to moisturize it, try putting a slice of cucumber in the can and shaking it. Wait about 10 minutes before using it. Keep in mind that moisturizing dried out snus may not fully restore its original flavor and texture.

Conclusion

Storing snus properly is essential to maintaining its freshness and flavor. Whether you prefer loose snus or portion snus, keeping it in the refrigerator or freezing it in an airtight bag can help extend its durability for weeks or even months. And if your snus does get old or dries out, it’s still safe to use, but the taste may not be as good as fresh snus. By following these tips and tricks, you can enjoy your snus to the fullest.
