Storage Tips
Leave Some Room
Keep 10–20% of your freezer empty for air circulation and to make organizing easier as you use the beef.
12+ Month Storage
Vacuum-sealed beef stays fresh in the freezer for over a year. Use within 12–18 months for best quality.
Organize by Cut
We package and label by cut type. Keep similar cuts together so you can find what you need quickly.
Keep It Cold
Set your freezer to 0°F (−18°C) or below. A dedicated freezer maintains temperature better than a fridge/freezer combo.
