Homemade mozzarella is best enjoyed fresh, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Store it in water or a brine solution to keep it fresh longer.

For a creamier texture, use half cream and half milk.
Add herbs or spices like basil or garlic to the mozzarella for a flavored version.
FAQ:
Q: Can I use pasteurized milk?

Q: How do I store leftover mozzarella?
A: Place leftover mozzarella in a container with enough water to cover it. You can also use a brine solution (water with salt) to store the cheese.
