As you know, the shelf life of fresh cottage cheese in the refrigerator cannot exceed 3 days.
After this time, the product needs to be frozen. The main thing is to do it correctly so that the taste of the cottage cheese does not disappoint you after defrosting.
First, let us remind you that for too wet cottage cheese, it is worth using the following trick: wrap the mass in cheesecloth and leave it suspended in a saucepan in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
When the excess liquid has drained, do not squeeze the cottage cheese, otherwise it will become too dry.
After this, you can start freezing. The most convenient way to do this is in bags.
Place the cottage cheese in a bag, smoothing it out into a thin layer. The thinner the preparation, the faster the product will freeze and defrost if necessary.
It is also important to release the air from the bag - the less air remains in the bag, the better the taste of the product will be.
All that remains is to close the bag and place it in the freezer, attaching a label with the date if necessary.
