How To Store Fresh Mozzarella

Today I bought 2 large pieces of Fresh Mozzarella.  Knowing I was not going to be able to eat it all tonight I did some research on how to store it so it will stay decent for more time.  First note to take is that if you buy Mozzarella fresh, it is meant to be used that day.  Ideally, that isn't always the case.  To store it, put it in a container filled with cold water and add a tablespoon of salt, then put in the fridge.  The salt is extremely important.  It will store for about a week if you follow these directions.  Otherwise only about a day.  If you do plan to not use it the first day, it is recommended to use it in cooking and not eaten raw.  My recommendation for cooking it...Pizza!!!  I hope this helps everyone in their future Mozzarella Adventures.
