Can I freeze buffalo mozzarella?
They are best eaten fresh, however if you do forget about this beautiful little milky ball you can pop them in the freezer - this will change the texture; however, they are still good to cook with.
What if I don’t eat it all at once?
Submerge in the liquid in the tub supplied.
