Chorizo storage depends on whether it's fresh, cured, or cooked. Fresh chorizo should be refrigerated and used within a few days, or frozen for longer storage (up to 2-3 months). Cured chorizo, if unopened, can be stored at room temperature in a cool, dry place. Once opened, refrigerate it and consume within a week. Cooked chorizo should always be refrigerated promptly and eaten within 3-4 days. Wrap chorizo tightly to prevent it from drying out or absorbing odors in the refrigerator.
