I think it should be good for maybe a week, but it never stays around for that long in my house!

Now that I made my fresh Ricotta cheese…. how long would it properly keep in fridge?

Yes, the kind I have is meant to be disposable. I suppose there are some which can be washed.

Just wondering…. Do you throw out the cheesecloth after you use it?

You’re right! I can see that would be a little confusing. Thanks for letting me know, I’ll have to adjust the recipe.

I made this ricotta on Sunday with Horizon Organic. It’s terrific! I was a concerned about the direction, “be careful not to let it boil….once it comes to a boil”, but when it was on the verge of boiling, I added the salt and proceeded with the lemon juice. Kudos for having this recipe on your blog!

I just made this with chives, cracked pepper and garlic. It was so satisfying and easy to make my own cheese; I can’t wait to make it again for Christmas.

I tried fresh ricotta once with very bad results (a huge mess, mostly). Am thinking I might be brave enough to try it again. Thank you for the inspiration – I’ll let you know how it goes.
