How to Store Your Patties, Pikliz, and Epis for Maximum Freshness
Share
At Lakay Flavors, we believe food should taste just like it came from your mama’s kitchen—fresh, bold, and full of love. That’s why we take great care in preparing and packaging every Haitian patty, jar of Pikliz, and spoonful of Epis.
But once they’re in your hands, a little storage know-how will help keep that flavor going strong. Here’s how to store each item the right way:
🥐 Storing Haitian Patties
In the Fridge:
Place patties in an airtight container. They stay fresh for up to 15 days in the fridge.
In the Freezer:
Wrap each patty individually in foil or parchment paper, then seal in a freezer-safe bag. When ready to enjoy, reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10–15 minutes for that perfect flake. Avoid microwaving if you want that classic crispy crust!

🌶️ Storing Pikliz
Refrigeration is key. Pikliz is naturally pickled and fermented, which means it can last up to 3 months in the fridge.
✅ Pro Tip: Always use a clean spoon when serving to avoid introducing bacteria. Over time, the flavor actually gets better!

🧄 Storing Epis
This Haitian seasoning base is your kitchen MVP!
In the Fridge:
Keep in a tightly sealed container. It stays fresh for up to 2 months.
In the Freezer:
Pour Epis into an ice cube tray, freeze, then transfer the cubes to a sealed freezer bag. Each cube lasts up to 4 months—just pop one out when you're ready to cook!

📌 Final Tips for Storing Your Favorites
- Always label your containers with the date you received or made them.
- Don’t let any moisture or food particles get into your jars—clean utensils only!
- When in doubt, give it a smell test. Fresh Epis and Pikliz have strong, clean aromas.
