Keep your favorite shredded cheese blend fresh and flavorful for all your culinary creations, from cheesy casseroles to quick quesadillas. Proper storage ensures optimal taste and texture, minimizing food waste.
Storage Time
Once opened, consume within 5-7 days for best quality. Unopened packages can last until the 'best by' date, typically 1-2 weeks.
Temperature
Always store shredded cheese blend in the refrigerator at a consistent temperature between 0°C and 4°C (32°F and 40°F).
Freezing
Yes, shredded cheese blend can be frozen to extend its shelf life significantly. For best results, repackage the cheese in an airtight freezer bag or container, removing as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn. Frozen shredded cheese is ideal for cooking applications like melting into sauces or casseroles, though its texture may become slightly crumbly upon thawing. Thaw slowly in the refrigerator overnight before use.
Signs of Spoilage
- Visible mold growth (any color)
- Off-putting sour or ammonia-like smell
- Slimy or sticky texture
