Hi Paula.
Sure, here’s how you can extend the shelf life of ganache:
1. Shelf Life of Ganache: It depends on the ingredients but generally lasts 1-2 weeks at room temperature.
2. Extending Shelf Life:
-Refrigeration: Up to 2-3 weeks in the refrigerator. Make sure to store it in an airtight container to avoid odor absorption and dehydration.
-Freezing: Up to 2-3 months in the freezer. Thaw it in the refrigerator before use and mix well, using a double boiler or microwave to restore its texture.
3. Storage of Finished Products:
Temperature: If storing finished products (like cakes or tortes with ganache) at room temperature, keep them in a cool, dry place to prevent rapid deterioration. A cool environment (around 18°C) is ideal.
Packaging: Use airtight containers to protect the product from air and moisture.
These tips should help you manage the shelf life of ganache and finished products more effectively.
