What is the best way to store cheese?

🧼 Cleaning and Reviving Cheese

If mold appears on semi-hard or hard cheeses, don’t panic. Simply:

• Cut off about ¼ inch around and below the moldy area.
• Re-wrap the cheese in fresh paper and store it as usual.

For dry cheese:

• Wrap it in a damp paper towel and store it in a bag or container overnight to rehydrate slightly.

🧀 Final Thoughts

Cheese is a living food that thrives when treated with a little care and respect. By using breathable wrapping materials, storing it in the right place, and knowing when to enjoy it at its peak, you’ll always have flavorful, fresh cheese ready to enjoy.

So the next time you bring home a beautiful block of aged cheddar or a creamy wheel of brie, give it the storage it deserves—you’ll taste the difference.
