Tequeños are a popular Venezuelan delicacy consisting of small pastry parcels filled with cheese. While they're best prepared and served fresh, sometimes it's not possible to eat them right away. In this blog post, we'll look at how long tequeños can be refrigerated to ensure they remain safe and enjoyable.

Fresh Tequeños

Fresh tequeños that are chilled immediately after preparation can be stored in the refrigerator as long as they are consumed within 2-3 days. It's important to store them in an airtight container or plastic bag to ensure they don't dry out or lose flavor.

Cooked Tequeños

Cooked tequeños stored in the refrigerator can stay fresh for up to a week as long as they are securely packaged and stored correctly. To ensure they are safe to eat, they should be heated to the correct temperature before consumption.

Frozen Tequeños

Tequeños can also be frozen to extend their shelf life. To freeze them, they should be well packaged and labeled before freezing so that you know when they were frozen. Frozen tequeños can be kept in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Conclusion

Tequeños are best when freshly prepared and eaten immediately, but if that's not possible, they can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer. It's important to package and label them securely to ensure they remain safe and enjoyable.
