How long till ricotta cheese spoils out of fridge?

Ricotta cheese, like most dairy products, is perishable and can spoil if not stored properly.

Here's a general timeline for how long ricotta cheese lasts out of the fridge:

* At room temperature: Ricotta cheese should not be left out of the fridge for more than 2 hours.

* In the refrigerator: If stored properly in the refrigerator, ricotta cheese can last for 5-7 days.

Tips for extending the shelf life of ricotta cheese:

* Choose a tightly sealed container: Store ricotta in its original container or transfer it to an airtight container.

* Store in the coldest part of the refrigerator: The coldest part of your fridge is usually the back.

* Check for signs of spoilage: Look for mold, an off-color or off-odor, and a slimy texture. If you notice any of these signs, discard the cheese.

Important note: These are general guidelines. The actual shelf life of ricotta cheese can vary depending on the quality of the cheese, how it was handled, and the temperature of your refrigerator.
