Storage Tips

Almond cheese should always be stored in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness and prevent spoilage. Keep it tightly wrapped in its original packaging or in an airtight container to minimize exposure to air and odors. Consume within the recommended timeframe indicated on the packaging. Some varieties can be frozen to extend shelf life, though this may slightly alter the texture.
