Review: Great buy - Lovely taste - Luxury product. Great taste not too salty and authentically black. I would really recommend this product over the sachets which you can get as they never deliver that jet black colour and understated shellfish taste you are looking for.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many risottos will this make?  I am worried I will open it and never use by use by date and most gets thrown out...**
A: You can make loads ,  you don't need a lot for each risotto , I usually make risotto's then freeze them , saves time later , always use squid ink before the due date .

**Q: once opened how long before it has to be used?**
A: I opened it in the beginning of February and I've had it in the fridge for the past 3 months and it is fine. I used it last week to make squid ink tagliatelle and they came out fantastic. Will be keeping it until the taste is off regardless what it says on the package.

**Q: When does the product expires?**
A: At least 1 year

**Q: Hi. Im thinking of watering this product down - Is it possible to boil this ink in water and then bottle it?**
A: when I make risotto I put the ink into the boiling stock, so yes, you can boil it with water but why would you want to bottle it, I kept my opened jar in the fridge for about 6 months before finishing it and it was fine.
