How to store cheese strings

Cheese strings are a chilled dairy product, so their taste and softness depend a lot on how you treat them at home.

In the fridge, not the freezer

The ideal temperature is 2 to 8 °C, in other words a normal fridge. We don't recommend freezing: after thawing the cheese loses its stringy texture and starts to crumble.

Opened packs

The vacuum pack keeps the strings fresh until the use-by date. Once opened, put them in a sealable container or wrap them tightly in cling film so they don't dry out or pick up fridge smells. Eat them as soon as possible.

For travel and school

Out of the fridge, a 100 g pack keeps for about three hours. In summer, put it in a cool bag or next to a frozen bottle of water.

Have they gone hard?

If the strings dry out in the air, don't throw them away. Pull them apart into a salad, on a pizza or into a pasta bake, and the heat will soften them again.
