3 mistakes to avoid when storing your cheese, according to a cheesemonger:
We chatted with Johnson, who was a finalist at this year's If you're splurging on a nice cheese, you want it to maintain its integrity of taste and texture for as long as possible. Below, Johnson shares the three biggest mistakes that people make when storing their cheeses.
"What works best is to wrap it in some kind of porous material," says Johnson. "Cheese is a living thing, so you have to wrap it in something that is breathable." Plus, plastic wrap can give the cheese a plastic-y flavor. "That's the problem with a lot of pre-cut cheese wrapped in plastic: it takes on the plastic flavors, and the bacteria starts to die," she says.2. Avoid: Storing your cheese in the coldest part of the fridge.
Since not everyone has a "cheese fridge" , it's important to learn the safest place to store cheese in your home refrigerator:"Cold slows down the ripening of the cheese, and then the airflow can dry it out pretty quickly. Cheese likes a certain amount of humidity and it likes to be warmer," says Johnson. "I put my cheese in the produce drawer, or whatever part of my fridge is the warmest.
Of course, you can store hard cheeses, like Parmigiano Reggiano, outside of the fridge "for a really long time." Johnson recommends putting the cheese you've wrapped in paper in another container for extra protection—either Tupperware with holes poked in it, or a plastic bag with holes poked in it. The holes are key, as cheese is a living thing.
