How long is beef suet good in fridge?
Does it make any difference if I store it as a whole or chopped into pieces?
EDIT: This is suet, not tallow, which can even be left outside the fridge for 1 year. This not a duplicate question.
EDIT: Suet is raw fat not raw protein.
Best Answer
I usually store suet in the freezer, where it keeps for many months. In the fridge, I wrap it carefully to reduce oxygen exposure (and hence, rancidity).
