All Martinelli’s products have a “Best By” date printed on the label or on the bottle itself. Martinelli’s products that are unopened and stored in a cool, dry place should retain their quality for 3 years (in glass) and 2 years (in plastic) from the date of production except for our 10-ounce PET plastic bottles that have a 16-month shelf life. Any products that are opened must be refrigerated and are good for 5–10 days.

Martinelli’s apple juice and cider are the same; the only difference is the label. Both are 100% juice from U.S. grown fresh apples. We continue to offer the cider label since some consumers simply prefer the traditional name for apple juice.
