Frequently Asked Questions

Why shouldn't the cream boil?

Boiling makes the cream separate into grainy curds. Warm it gently on low flame so it thickens smoothly when the vinegar is added.

How long does homemade mascarpone last?

Store it in a closed container in the fridge and use it within 4 to 5 days.
