- Check your freezer temperature
Make sure you check the freezer temperature in your fridge before putting ice cream in it. Ice cream is best stored at -18oC or below, no more. It aims to maintain the taste and texture of the ice cream itself.
- Store ice cream in an airtight container
Ice cream has a composition that is mostly fat and absorbs odors even when frozen. Therefore, use an airtight container so that your ice cream does not absorb the smell of other food in your refrigerator so that your ice cream does not change the taste and the aroma becomes strange.
- Place the ice cream in the deepest part of the freezer
