Many housewives immediately put the cottage cheese not on the refrigerator shelf, but in the freezer.
And this action has a very simple explanation.
Freezing a product is a guarantee of increasing its shelf life.
In other words, household members will not have to try to eat all the cottage cheese as quickly as possible.
The purpose of freezing cottage cheese
All cooks know that cottage cheese does not keep for very long. The product may no longer be suitable for consumption after 2-3 days of purchase.
However, it is quite possible to postpone this trouble. It is enough to put the cottage cheese in the freezer. In this case, the product will be stored for up to two weeks.
True, you need to follow a few important rules. First, the product must be in a sealed package. Paper wrapping is definitely not suitable.
Secondly, you need to pay attention to the consistency of the product. Fatty cottage cheese is not quite suitable for freezing. But dry cottage cheese is quite suitable.
Thirdly, if you have already taken the cottage cheese out of the freezer, then it is worth making something from it. It is not worth returning the defrosted product back.
How to Use Frozen Cottage Cheese
A fermented milk product exposed to very low temperatures is only suitable for heat treatment.
In other words, frozen cottage cheese can be used as a base for syrniki or a filling for vareniki.
But you cannot consume the defrosted product in its “raw” form.
