How is ricotta cheese stored?

Ricotta cheese is best stored in the refrigerator. Here's how:

* Fresh ricotta: It's best to use it within 5-7 days.

* Store in the original container: If it came in a plastic container, keep it in that.

* Cover tightly: Use plastic wrap, a lid, or a reusable container to seal it.

* Place on a shelf: Don't store it in the door of the refrigerator as the temperature fluctuates too much.

Important Note: While ricotta can be frozen, it will change its texture. It's best to use it fresh if you can!
