To maximize the shelf of opened buttermilk, do not store it on the fridge door, as the temperature is too warm - the opened buttermilk will last longer when stored in the main body of the refrigerator, in its original package.
How long does opened buttermilk last in the refrigerator? Buttermilk that has been continuously refrigerated will keep for about 2 to 3 weeks after opening. To further extend the shelf life of buttermilk, freeze it; frozen buttermilk will often become separated and the texture may become somewhat grainy, but it is usually acceptable for cooking and baking purposes. How long does buttermilk last in the freezer? Buttermilk which is well past its expiry date might even have mold growing on the surface and around the lid.
This is due to increased bacterial growth, and if there is any mold present in the buttermilk or on the container, you should just discard it straight away, it is not worth any foodborne illnesses that come with drinking bacteria-ridden buttermilk.
When it begins to turn bad, buttermilk develops a thick, clumpy texture. It will be difficult to pour and there will be large clots.
There is no way to salvage buttermilk that has turned lumpy, as there is a good chance that it is spoiled. Take note that buttermilk does naturally have a small number of lumps, but this should not interfere with the way the buttermilk has been poured and the little clumps should break up when it is whisked and mixed in with other ingredients.
You might have missed the other signs of buttermilk being off, and taste might be the next option. Buttermilk does have a slightly tangy taste , but if the buttermilk tastes sour or off in anyways, it should be thrown away.
Buttermilk should also have a buttery taste, with a certain creaminess, and this also disappears once the buttermilk starts to spoil. A sure way to tell if your buttermilk has spoiled, if you are unsure whether looking at the other signs, is to look at the expiration date. If you cannot tell if it is off by smelling, tasting and looking at the texture, and it is before the expiration date, it should be fine to use.
However, if it is a week past the expiration date, you should discard the buttermilk. Like any other dairy product, buttermilk does eventually spoil.
This bacteria growth is what causes the buttermilk to spoil, and makes it risky to drink after its expiry date as there is a higher chance of foodborne illnesses. All buttermilk will have a sell-by-date and an expiry-date. It is important to note that that you should still be able to use the buttermilk about a week past the sell-by date , but this also depends on how the buttermilk was stored and transported. Once the buttermilk container is opened, the degradation of the product happens faster.
It is best to finish a bottle of buttermilk within a week or two of being opened. Once again, this is also dependent on how well the buttermilk is stored and if it has been contaminated with any other products. This one is the one my mom always used while I was growing up.
Buttermilk needs to be kept refrigerated and not left out to sit at room temperature. If you are not planning on using the buttermilk straight away, rather leave it unopened, as an opened carton of buttermilk will not last as long as one that is unopened. Practice good hygiene when using the buttermilk, keep your fingers away from the lid when you are pouring and never drink straight from the carton , as this could introduce bacteria to the buttermilk which could cause it to spoil faster.
You also have the option to freeze buttermilk to further prolong its shelf life. Freezing will alter the consistency a bit and could lead to the buttermilk clumping a little and separating, so it is best not to used frozen buttermilk for drinking or uncooked recipes.
