"It will stay fresh for a long time": how to properly store cottage cheese - tips that will help housewives
Many people sincerely do not understand why cottage cheese, when kept in the refrigerator, begins to spoil quickly.
The reason may be errors related to improper storage.
To ensure that cottage cheese remains fresh for a long time, you need to follow some tips.
First of all, you need to prepare a sealed glass container for storing the product. You can also use containers. Open storage, on the contrary, can reduce the shelf life of the product.
The shelf life of a product also depends on how and where it is made. If the product is store-bought, its shelf life should not exceed five days. Homemade products are stored for no more than 36 hours. Frozen cottage cheese can be stored the longest – up to 20 days.
In addition, the shelf life of cottage cheese is affected by its fat content. If it is low, the product will be stored longer. A high percentage of fat, on the contrary, reduces the shelf life.
To get the most benefit from the product, it is better to eat it right away. On the second day after purchase, you can make vareniki or syrniki from cottage cheese.
Now you know how to keep cottage cheese fresh for a long time.
