In transit, your macarons will come with ice packs. Once received it is best to refrigerate until ready to serve or before presenting as a gift. For maximum deliciousness, we recommend consuming within the first 10-14 days. However, our macarons may be frozen in the original packaging if plastic wrapped for one year. If freezing, move your package from freezer to refrigerator when ready to serve or present so they acclimate to the lower temperature. Allow up to 1 hour to acclimate.  **Note the macaron does not spoil, it will only lose the cake-like softness if allowed to sit in the open air too long without being covered and refrigerated**
