It’s alive!Cheese is a living organism and therefore it needs to be able to breathe. It continues to react to its surroundings and transforms itself even a�er you take it home so the way you store it could a�ect the way it tastes. The ideal environment for storing cheese o�ers su�icient oxygen supply and humidity (but not wet).

Graceful agingWhen kept in a controlled, desirable environment some cheeses can age for a long time, even years, and the flavor and texture improve over time. However, not all types of cheese are suitable for long term aging, and di�erent types of cheese thrive in di�erent environments. So store them accordingly. Harder cheeses tend to last longer while so�er cheeses deteriorate more quickly if their oxygen access is impeded.

Cheese protectionIn general, keep your cheese in its original form for as long as possible. Keep a wheel of cheese uncut until you are ready to eat since the rind will protect the cheese from drying out. Smaller pieces of cheese tend to lose their desired aroma and texture more quickly than large wheels of cheese.

Use cheese paper that is designed to store cheese if possible. Non-permeable plastic wrap would su�ocate the cheese which result in an o� ammonia flavor, and also trap moisture and cause mold and spoilage. Store it in a drawer of your fridge where it’s warmer and humid. Change the wrap every few days.

Buy and eat o�en! Buy cheese in smaller quantities and eat it within a few days. And repeat o�en!
