Storage Tips
Frozen yogurt should be stored in the freezer at a consistent temperature of 0°F (-18°C) or lower to maintain its texture and flavor. Keep it tightly sealed in its original container or transfer it to an airtight container to prevent freezer burn. Avoid frequent thawing and refreezing, as this can lead to ice crystal formation and degrade the quality. Consume within 1-2 months for optimal taste and freshness.
