Keeping food fresh is a great art. The so-called freshness zones of the latest refrigerator models do not always cope with this task perfectly.
Cheese dries out, in some cases becomes moldy or spoils in some other way if you don’t take saving measures.
Here are some tips from thrifty cooks who aren't used to wasting food and cooking with leftovers.
You can buy another plastic container, even if it is specially made for storing soft and hard cheeses three times. But it will not change much.
To preserve a fermented milk product for as long as possible, you need to create special conditions for it.
For storage, the most ordinary container made of food-grade plastic with a hermetically sealed lid is suitable.
Next, you need to put a paper napkin or paper towel on its bottom.
The cheese is covered with the same material on top, and a piece of refined sugar is placed in the container or a spoonful of table salt is added.
This is necessary to ensure that the cheese is stored in conditions of normal, rather than high, humidity.
To prevent mold from forming, you can add a slice of lemon just in case.
