Storing Mousselines

Once it has cooled to room temperature, a mousseline must be immediately refrigerated. Like pâtés, mousselines acquire a better flavor and texture after 24 hours of mellowing.

The holding time for a cooked mousseline varies with the perishability of the main ingredient. Mousselines made from seafood or liver must be used within about 48 hours, while a chicken mousseline may be kept under refrigeration up to five days.
