Bring cheese to room temperature before serving to fully enjoy its flavor. Store cheese in the vegetable drawer or a special cheese drawer if available, as these areas have better humidity control.
Variations:
For soft cheeses like Brie, store them in their original packaging or under wax paper.
Hard cheeses can be stored in a paper wrap with a thin layer of butter on cut surfaces to prevent drying.
FAQ
Why not store cheese in plastic wrap?
Plastic traps moisture and causes the cheese to become slimy or moldy faster.
Can cheese be frozen?
Freezing cheese can affect texture, but it’s possible for cooking purposes. Avoid freezing soft cheeses.
How long does cheese last when stored properly?
It varies by type, but generally one to four weeks when wrapped and stored correctly.
