Storage Time

3–4 days in the refrigerator, up to 2–3 months in the freezer.

Temperature

Store refrigerated at 0–4°C (32–40°F).

Freezing

Mashed celeriac freezes exceptionally well, preserving its creamy texture and savory taste. Allow the mash to cool completely before portioning it into airtight containers or freezer bags. For best results when reheating, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and gently warm on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk or broth if needed to restore moisture. Freezing may slightly alter the texture, making it a bit softer upon thawing.

Signs of Spoilage

• A sour or off-putting smell.
• Visible mold growth, often appearing as fuzzy patches of various colors.
• A slimy or sticky texture, indicating bacterial proliferation.
