I made some raw milk cheese last weekend, and kept the whey.  how long will it last in my fridge?

I have made raw milk cheese before, and the whey lasted for several months in the fridge. thumb.gif

 

You can always freeze it if you think it'll be a while before you use it. I'm not sure about the effect of freezing on the remaining proteins and such; if you were planning to make whey ricotta out of it then maybe you should just stick it in the fridge. If you were planning to cook rice/beans/etc with it then I think you'd be in the clear to freeze it.
