By avoiding common cheese storage mistakes, you will extend its shelf life and ensure food safety for yourself and your loved ones.
Store cheese in plastic
The original cheese packaging is not very good for storing the product.
In plastic packaging, the cheese is not stored for a long time, as it quickly becomes covered with mold and plaque.
Use special cheese paper or parchment for storage.
Store cheese on the refrigerator door
This place constantly weathers the cheese, which simply dries out the product.
Store wrapped cheese in the vegetable drawer.
Thus, less light will fall on the cheese.
However, cheese should be stored separately from other products, as the product absorbs odors.
Store cheese in the freezer
Although it is quite safe to freeze, the quality of the product is significantly reduced.
The texture of the cheese deteriorates.
If you have frozen cheese, don't serve it separately.
Use thawed product for hot dishes where texture won't matter much.
By following these tips, you will be able to properly store your cheese, protect it from mold, dryness, and damage to the integrity of the texture.
