Why does my postcode not bring up delivery options?
Our tortillas are fresh and therefore have a shorter shelf life than those packed with preservatives. We restrict our delivery radius to areas we are confident couriers can deliver within an acceptable time frame. Unfortunately this does means that some postcodes are restricted such has highlands and islands.

What is the shelf life of your tortillas?
We place a 4-5 day best before date on our tortillas (depending on the time of year). This is based on the assumption they spend up to 24 hours ambient in the transit system followed by being stored in the fridge. If you do not refrigerate our tortillas you can expect the tortillas to last as long as other fresh breads (1-2 days).
Can I freeze your tortillas?
Yes. absolutely! Our tortillas freeze brilliantly. Freeze for up to 1 month. The key to enjoying our tortillas from frozen is following our defrosting instructions: Our tortillas are best defrosted slowly in the fridge. Make sure tortillas are kept in their packaging or a plastic bag while defrosting to prevent drying out. Use within 2 days of defrosting.
