Frequently asked

How long does it keep?

Airtight in the fridge for 4–5 days. Cover the surface with a slick of olive oil before storing to keep it from drying out.

Can I freeze it?

Yes, in small portions for up to 3 months. After thawing, stir well and whisk in a splash of ice water to bring back the creaminess.
