Storage Time
Best within 1-2 days at room temperature, up to 3 days in the refrigerator, and 1-2 months when frozen.
Temperature
Store at room temperature (18-22°C) for immediate enjoyment, or refrigerate (0-4°C) for slightly longer shelf life.
Freezing
To freeze Danish pastries, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil or place in a freezer-safe bag. This prevents freezer burn and maintains their delicate texture. Thaw overnight at room temperature or gently warm in a low oven (150°C) for a few minutes to restore crispness.
Signs of Spoilage
- Mold growth, often appearing as fuzzy spots of various colors.
- A stale, hard, or chewy texture instead of light and flaky.
- An off, sour, or rancid smell, indicating spoilage.
