How to Store Cheese the Right Way
✓ 1. Use Wax Paper, Parchment Paper, or Cheese Paper
Wrap the cheese first in breathable material. This allows proper air circulation while still keeping the cheese protected from drying out.
✓ 2. Add a Loose Layer of Aluminum Foil
After wrapping in paper, add a light layer of foil around it. This keeps the cheese fresh longer without suffocating it.
✓ 3. Use Airtight Containers — But with Paper Inside
If you prefer containers, line them with parchment paper. This prevents the cheese from touching the plastic directly, reducing moisture buildup.
✓ 4. Store Cheese in the Vegetable Drawer
This part of the fridge keeps the most stable temperature and humidity, making it the best place for cheese.
✓ 5. Rewrap Cheese Every Few Days
For cheeses you use often, change the wrapping periodically to maintain freshness and avoid mold.
Conclusion
Plastic wrap may seem like the easiest option, but it’s one of the worst ways to store cheese. To keep your cheese tasting rich, fresh, and full of flavor, switch to breathable wrapping materials and proper refrigeration methods.
A small change in how you store cheese can save money, reduce waste, and dramatically improve the eating experience.
