Can you freeze chicken pate?

This is a very common question and the answer is: YES!

Chicken pâté lasts an average of 7 days in the refrigerator and up to 3 months frozen.

Its version with tuna, instead of chicken, lasts an average of 5 days in the refrigerator and only 1 month frozen.

However, it is important to note that the texture may change slightly after defrosting, to minimize any change in texture and flavor, follow the tips below:

– Place the pâté in an airtight container or plastic bag suitable for freezing.
– Make sure to remove as much air as possible from the container or plastic bag before closing it.
– Label the container with the freezing date so you know how long it has been stored in the freezer.
– To defrost the pâté, it is best to transfer it to the refrigerator overnight for slow and safe thawing. Avoid defrosting at room temperature as this may increase the risk of bacterial contamination. After thawing, you may need to stir or mix the pâté to restore it to its original consistency before serving. Always make sure to check the appearance, smell and taste before consuming any frozen food.
