To save money, many housewives buy cheese in bulk on special offer. In addition, sometimes there is a small piece of uneaten cheese or the remains of a cheese plate after a feast left in the refrigerator.

The only problem is that cheese is not a product that can be stored for a long time without consequences.

If the product is not used immediately, it may become moldy, as Yulia Arkhipova, an expert at the online publication BelNovosti, rightly notes.

It is strictly forbidden to eat cheese on which mold has been noticed – even in very small quantities – even after you have cut off the moldy areas.

What to do? We reject the idea of throwing away blue cheese right away.

Instead, try using a proven life hack that helps prevent cheese from spoiling quickly.

To do this, you will need regular table vinegar - it will not affect the taste of the cheese, but will significantly extend its shelf life.

You need to wrap a piece of cheese in a clean cloth or parchment, slightly moistened with vinegar, and put it in an airtight container. Store, of course, in the refrigerator.

You can even just soak the cheese in vinegar – the effect will be the same.
