Question Can I Use This Ricotta?
I have a sealed, refrigerated container of ricotta cheese dated use by 28 Aug 2015. I just opened it an it smells OK. Would you use it in a recipe?

So do let us know how it all turned out. I love spinach. Even with ricotta.

If you opened the package and did not get a gushing of fetid air then everything is OK. Good by dates and sell by dates are useless. Use your nose and your common sense.

This should answer your question.

Can you freeze ricotta cheese? - Can You Freeze This?
