Store it right
- Reseal tightly or move to an airtight container once opened.
- Freeze slices separated by parchment so you can pull one at a time.
Signs it has gone off
- Slimy sheen.
- Sour or fishy smell.
- Grey or greenish patches on the fat.
Never taste food to test it — a small bite is enough to make you ill.
