Savor the rich, smoky flavor of expertly smoked goose breast, a delicacy perfect for charcuterie boards or as a gourmet addition to your meals. Proper storage ensures its premium quality and delicious taste are preserved for your enjoyment.

Storage Time

3–5 days in the refrigerator, up to 2–3 months in the freezer.

Temperature

Keep refrigerated at or below 4°C (40°F). For optimal freezer storage, maintain a temperature of -18°C (0°F).

Freezing

Smoked goose breast freezes exceptionally well, maintaining its succulent texture and robust flavor. For best results, wrap the breast tightly in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil or place it in a freezer-safe bag, removing as much air as possible. To thaw, transfer the frozen goose breast to the refrigerator and allow it to defrost slowly for 24–48 hours. Avoid thawing at room temperature to prevent bacterial growth. Once thawed, consume within 2–3 days.

Signs of Spoilage

• A sour or rancid odor, distinctly different from its usual smoky aroma.
• A slimy or sticky texture on the surface of the meat.
• Discoloration, such as a greenish or grayish hue, especially if it wasn't present when purchased.
