These are the best GF bagels I've found. They are excellent toasted and topped with cream cheese. When toasted they have a nice outer crunch and soft interior. I have one almost every morning, along with tea.I prefer these to the Udi's brand, which are a bit bland. Udi's are also frozen, which is a bit of fuss for storage. Also, frozen bagels don't toast up as nicely.Each package of Canyon Bakehouse Deli White Bagels contains 4 bagels in air tight packaging. They are shelf stable at room temperature and can be stored in your pantry for weeks or even months. When opened, they are surprisingly soft. They soft and fresh for about 5-7 days, if stored in airtight ziplock on the counter.They bagels are scored, but you will need a bread knife. The score is too shallow and short (maybe 1/4 of the circumference) to be useful. But that's fine - they're fresher when you cut them yourself.Note: as with most GF breads, these aren't as good as the real thing. GF bagels are a bit more dry and a bit more bland than regular bagels. As such, I only eat these toasted.HOWEVER, for Gluten Free they are excellent. They are best (and closest to the real thing) when toasted and topped with cream cheese. I highly recommend them to anyone who must be GF.P.S. In my original review I mentioned that some packages were moldy. However, that seems to have been a temporary problem during the start of the pandemic. I have not received a bad bag in several years.
