Storage for Guava & White Cheese
The storage duration for Guava & White Cheese in the fridge depends on the specific ingredients used, but here are some general guidelines:
- Guava Paste: Generally, guava paste has a good shelf life. Once opened, it can be stored in the refrigerator for several weeks to a few months. Check the packaging for any specific storage recommendations.
- White Cheese: The storage time for white cheese can vary. Soft white cheeses may have a shorter shelf life, typically a week or two, while harder varieties may last longer, up to several weeks. Again, refer to the packaging or any specific guidelines provided.
- Assembled Guava & White Cheese Dish: If you've combined guava paste and white cheese into a dish, it's best to consume it within a day or two for optimal freshness. The texture of the white cheese may change over time, and the flavors might not be as vibrant.
Always check for any signs of spoilage, such as an off odor or unusual texture, before consuming. If you're preparing a dish in advance, consider storing the guava paste and white cheese separately until you're ready to assemble and serve for the best quality.
