Why is proper cheese storage important? 🧀❄️ Why is proper cheese storage important? 🧀❄️

Proper cheese storage is essential for freshness, flavour, and extended shelf life. By following correct storage practices, you can prevent the growth of bacteria, and the cheese from drying out or becoming rubbery. 

🧀 What are some tips for storing cheese? 
Always use clean hands when handling cheese to avoid contamination. Secondly, try to consume softer cheeses within a shorter time frame as they tend to spoil faster. If you have a large piece of cheese, consider dividing it into smaller portions to prevent the unnecessary exposure of the whole piece whenever you need a serving. 

Our recommended DIY method involves double-wrapping cheese pieces. Start with wax or baking paper, followed by a layer of aluminium foil. The paper allows the cheese to breathe, allowing excess moisture to dissipate, while the foil locks in the freshness.

❄️ Can you freeze the cheese for long-term storage? 
While freezing cheese might be an option for extending its shelf life, it can affect its texture and flavour. Certain types of cheese, like hard cheeses, freeze better than others. Before freezing, wrap the cheese tightly in plastic wrap, and once thawed, the texture might be slightly altered. We recommended to consume the cheese soon after thawing for the best quality. 

Remember, properly storing cheese is crucial to preserving its taste and texture. These storage guidelines will help you enjoy your cheese for longer without compromising its quality. 💛
