Yes, the bags with yellow caps are resealable. Before putting the cap on again, please make sure to remove all oxygen inside the bag. Once it's closed it must be refrigerated in the same bag for up to a week or freeze it for up to 6 months. If the bag was cut because it has de Blue/Green Spout just tie it well avoiding contact with oxygen.
In the event a 44 lb bag is too much, you can split it in smaller Zip Lock bags, freeze them and use them as needed.
Once the bag is open, you can re-close it with the yellow cap or tie it well in case it has the Blue/Green Spout and you had to cut it. Make sure to remove all oxygen inside. Once this is done you can refrigerate it for up to one week or freeze it for up to 6 months.

Shelf life is 18 - 24 months at max 75°F without opening. No need to be frozen. After opened, 5 days refrigerated in the same bag, or 6 up to months frozen.
Even though the bag keeps the puree fine, fruit purees like
strawberry and raspberry tend to oxidize faster than any other fruit even with
the bag unopened. In case you’re planning store these for long periods of time
we recommend keeping it refrigerated or frozen to delay the oxidation process
for these 2 particular fruits.
