How to store Greek Yogurt
In the fridge: 14 days
In the freezer: 60 days
Store greek yogurt on a middle or back shelf, tightly sealed. Avoid the fridge door. After each use, smooth the surface and reseal — air contact accelerates spoilage. Use a clean spoon every time. Freezing changes the smooth texture to grainy; better for smoothies than eating plain after thawing. Whey separation is natural — just stir it back in.
