The 1-star rating is given to the shameless company that sell and ship this product, not to the product itself.The reason i NEVER order food online is bcoz they only ship you the product expiring VERY SOON. Prior to ordering from amazon, I went to several gourment markets in my neighborhood that said they carry the product, but actually they do not. I resolved to my last option- online order. and guess what? all 6 boxes of cookies arrived in the condition that I've feared/expected- expiring in 1.5 month from the date of arrival.
