There are some small nuances to storing cheese that will help the product stay fresh for a long time.

Recipes with it are extremely diverse. So many cheeses - so many dishes.

Dries out quickly and becomes moldy

Hard, soft, processed and brine cheeses occupy a prominent place in many national cuisines of Georgia, Bulgaria, Moldova, Romania, Cyprus, India, the Czech Republic and dozens of other countries.

That's why this product can be found in almost any kitchen. Cheese is added to sandwiches, salads or fried potatoes.

But cooks often face a problem: the product dries out quickly and becomes moldy. If this happens, then 2 rules are violated.

Storing Cheese

Experts advise to allocate a separate shelf in the refrigerator for dairy products. Neither vegetables nor fruits are put here.

It is especially not recommended to put lemon nearby. Wild yeast from the citrus peel instantly migrates to the cheese and accelerates the spoilage process.

Cheese lasts the longest in the place in the refrigerator where it is surrounded only by dairy products. But there is another nuance.

Most cheeses are best stored in a container. The product is wrapped in paper. Thanks to this:

  • condensation does not accumulate on the cheese;
  • the product stays fresh longer.

But not only paper is suitable. A bag or film is used. However, it is changed every 2-3 days so that the cheese can "breathe".
