Casaba melons are best stored at room temperature until ripe. Once ripe, they should be refrigerated to slow down the ripening process and prevent spoilage. Wrap the cut melon tightly in plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container to maintain its moisture and prevent it from absorbing odors from other foods in the refrigerator. Casaba melon can also be frozen; cut it into cubes and freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag for longer storage. Frozen melon is best used in smoothies or blended drinks.
