Have you ever kept cheese in the refrigerator for a few days, then the cheese hardened or moldy? This condition may not be due to poor cheese quality. But it can happen because of the wrong or incorrect storage method.

Here's how to store the right cheese to keep it durable and not easily moldy:

Many people store cheese by wrapping it in plastic. This method is very practical and plastic is easy to find at home. However, storing cheese with plastic can actually damage the taste of the cheese.

Plastic packaging makes cheese unable to breathe and unable to absorb oxygen. In addition, the oil and fat contained in the cheese will also absorb, so that the original taste of the cheese will be exposed or replaced.

Make sure you store the cheese in a closed container and are not exposed to direct sunlight. This step needs to be done to prevent the cheese from breaking or dry quickly. You can use closed packaging like a container box to store it safely and sustainably.

It is recommended to store cheese with bags or cheese paper. You can buy this cheese-specific paper in shopping centers or online stores. This cheese packaging material serves to prevent air from entering. In addition, this paper has pores to keep providing good oxygen circulation for cheese so that it can breathe.

Some types of cheese will emit excessive sweat. For this type of cheese, you should always change the packaging every time you open it. Repeated use of packs will make it difficult for cheese to absorb oxygen and its freshness will decrease.

If the cheese is coated with paper, you can add layers to the plastic. However, cheese must have been wrapped in paper, such as bread paper, wax paper, or film clips. In addition, pay attention not to wrap it too tightly or loosely.

When you store the cheese in the refrigerator, make sure the refrigerator is regulated in stable temperature. If each section in the refrigerator has a different temperature, you need to put it in a stable and cold temperature area. Avoid placing the cheese in the freezer because the temperature is too cold makes the cheese dry and harden.

Don't immediately throw away the cheese when there is a moldy part. You can still consume the cheese, but make sure to cut the moldy area first. Then you can save the remaining sterile cheese. However, there are exceptions for types of mozzarella cheese, blue cheese, and ricotta, which you can't eat when it's moldy.

Those are some ways to store the right cheese so that it lasts a long time and is not easily moldy. For those of you who are cheese lovers, apply a number of tips above so that the remaining cheese can still be used again.
