These are available in sealed tins in different sizes.  They are sometimes available in stores, but the Amazon price, per ounce, is somewhat lower than what I have found in stores.  The ones I have purchased have internal foil wraps for added protection.  They can be somewhat fragile if mishandled (that may depend on your local shipper).  They are suitable for serving with coffee or tea for various social events.  The tines have a best buy date shown on the bottom of the tin.
