Why storage and shelf life matters on the Stark X
Cool, dry and dark storage preserves flavour stability over the stated shelf life.
The most common mistake is optimising for the first order instead of the fourth, which is where Stark X economics actually settle.
First in first out rotation prevents older batches ageing on the shelf.

Retail staff rarely ask about storage and shelf life directly, but their questions almost always lead back to it.
