How to store buffalo mozzarella
The best way to waste the mozzarella cheese The best way to preserve it is to refrigerate it. It's not necessary. And the only real result will be to alter its flavor, making it rubbery and tasteless. If anything, if you really need to keep it for a long time, or if you have some leftovers, you can freeze it, cut into pieces, and store it in a cool, dry place.

HOW TO STORE MOZZARELLA

Mozzarella, a true queen of dairy products, is a very delicate product that must be stored completely naturally: in its container and in its own whey. This preserves both the organoleptic qualities and flavor. You can keep it for several days, provided you store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To ensure this, it's very important that when purchasing, you ask your mozzarella supplier to store it in a long-life container with plenty of whey. Not by itself in a plastic bag.

HOW TO STORE BUFFALO MOZZARELLA

The quality of mozzarella depends not only on the production method and the raw material, but also on its preservation, which certainly has rather short shelf lives. First, let's dispel a false myth: buffalo mozzarella, which some people often advise against eating for health reasons, is not fatty. In fact, it should be classified as a low-fat cheese, as it contains less than 25 percent fat.

WHITE BUFFALO MOZZARELLA

Rather, in order not to waste this delicacy of Made in Italy cuisine, a product that the whole world envies us and tries to imitate even in a fraudulent way, it is best to follow some little tips and adviceHere are the most important ones.

  • However, consume it within 3-4 days. Regardless of proper storage, you shouldn't overdo it by letting it sit for too long. A good artisanal buffalo mozzarella, rather than a commercially produced one, should be consumed within 3-4 days of being made. After that, it's best to use it for cooking or freezing it (and then use it to make pizza once it thaws).
  • Never in the refrigerator. The refrigerator is the killer of buffalo mozzarella. Putting it at those temperatures simply ruins it: never do it. Not even in very hot weather.
  • In a cool place and with its serum. Mozzarella should be stored in the bag it was packaged in, with its milky water and natural whey, in a cool place at room temperature. This applies in both summer and winter, avoiding temperature fluctuations, which are harmful. The milky water is nothing more than the salted spinning water with the addition of acidic whey. This is the same water in which mozzarella and other dairy products are stored.
  • No sun. After the refrigerator, the other killer of buffalo mozzarella is the sun. It shouldn't get any, even when we plan to keep it outside to keep it cool. It's best to leave it, as we've said, in its bag, perhaps immersed in a bowl of cool water.
  • The warm water trick. When you decide to eat it, remember a little trick. Bring a pot of water to a boil, and when it's lukewarm, add the buffalo mozzarella, always in its original packaging. Turn off the heat and leave it there for about ten minutes. Once you bring it to the table, you'll notice how soft and tasty it has become.
  • The next day. Don't fall for the foolish idea that buffalo mozzarella should be consumed the same day it's produced and purchased. It's still excellent the next day, and may even be better than the day before.
  • Better bigger. PThe larger the buffalo mozzarella, the easier it is to store. And it maintains its elasticity, without becoming too rubbery or tough.
  • Cut and eaten.  Once the mozzarella has been cut, you absolutely have to use it. You can't put it back in the bag and store it again. The alternative is to avoid wasting the leftover cut mozzarella and use it in your cooking.

HOW TO STORE MOZZARELLA WITHOUT WHEY?

If your mozzarella doesn't have its own natural whey to store it in, you can easily make your own. Mix two tablespoons of salt with a liter of water and the whey will be ready: this method also works if you accidentally throw away the whey and don't know how to replace it. The mozzarella's liquid is salty (that's why we recommended soaking it in water before enjoying it), but it ensures proper hydration, the freshness of the product, and, above all, that its flavor isn't altered by the low temperatures of the refrigerator.

HOW TO STORE OPENED MOZZARELLA?

Once you've opened the mozzarella and only partially consumed it, don't waste it. Store it exactly where you got it, in the container and its whey. Otherwise, you can do two things. Add it as a condiment to some dish, starting with a nice Team Building, or store it in the freezer where it will last a long time, until you decide to use it. Once you defrost it, you have to eat it and can't put it back in the freezer.

HOW TO PRESERVE MOZZARELLA FOR A LONG LIFE

Mozzarella, like milk, can also have a long shelf life. However, it is important to be aware that it will not have the same quality, flavor, or freshness as freshly purchased mozzarella, which should be consumed within 3-4 days at the most. However, mozzarella with a long shelf life can be refrigerated and can be used occasionally to season dishes that require it. provideThe important thing when storing mozzarella in the refrigerator is that it remains intact, in its bag, and until the expiration date indicated on the package.
