How long can I store the cheesecake?
Our cheesecakes are recommended to be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days for optimal freshness. You can also pre-cut them into smaller portions and freeze them for up to 2 months if you want to enjoy the rest at a later time. Thawing them in the fridge overnight will return the texture to perfection.
