Once it's open, milk can be kept in the refrigerator for five to seven days and most hard cheeses can be stored in the fridge for up to four weeks. What else should you know about keeping your dairy products fresh?

Take action:
Always store dairy products below 5 degrees Celsius; always keep an eye on expiration dates; keep milk in the bottom rack of the fridge door – by storing the container upright, you will avoid spills that can lead to bacteria build-up in your fridge; other dairy products, such as cream and yoghurt, could be placed in the centre and top shelves; keep cheeses tightly packaged in moisture-resistant wrap; always keep milk and cream covered; make a point of storing your fresh dairy products at the back of the fridge – in this way, you'll make a point of using the older foods and beverages first; always throw dairy products out if they start to smell or change in appearance.
