Can you freeze Ricotta cheese?

Yes, you can freeze ricotta cheese. But keep in mind that its texture will change as ricotta has a high level of moisture, so it will become grainy or slightly watery upon thawing.

You can use it in cooked dishes, like lasagna or cannelloni, where the texture will be less noticeable.

The best way to freeze it is in a sealed freezable container, like a zip-top bag for food, with minimal air left inside.

It shouldn’t be kept for more than two months.

Allow thawing overnight in the fridge for a few hours before adding it to your dishes.
