  It could last for a month if stored in the refrigerator while 2-3 weeks under room temperature. It may alsolast longer if you use organic tomato

  Hello Horla, If you must add preservative, the shelf life will depend on the type of preservative you choose. It usually last up to 2 years with preservative.
