Storage Time

3–4 days at room temperature, 5–7 days in the refrigerator, up to 2–3 months frozen

Temperature

Store at room temperature (18–22°C) if unfrosted and plain, or refrigerate (0–4°C) if frosted or containing perishable ingredients.

Freezing

Almond tarts freeze exceptionally well, preserving their delightful texture and flavor. For best results, ensure the tart is completely cooled. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, followed by a layer of aluminum foil, or place it in an airtight freezer-safe container. To thaw, remove from the freezer and let it defrost in the refrigerator overnight for optimal texture. For a quick thaw, you can leave it at room temperature for a few hours, but be mindful of condensation which can affect the crust's crispness.

Signs of Spoilage

• Visible mold growth on the crust or filling.
• A sour or off smell emanating from the tart.
• A slimy or sticky texture on the surface of the filling or crust.
