storing almond paste

[devlin]

I just bought some almond paste (probably too much almond paste), and I know I won't use it all right away. How and where and for how long can I store almond paste? Can I freeze it?

I've stored it successfully in the freezer.

I have some that is frozen, and has been for probably 4 years...Used some a couple months ago and it was fine...

I've got some vacuum sealed in the fridge that's been there for at least a year and it's still fine.

Oh thank goodness. I could only find internet resources that said store for up to 3 months in the refrigerator and I've got 7 pounds of the stuff. I figured if you could store almonds in the freezer, you could store almond paste in the freezer as well.
