Cheese Storage

[holliscx]

What does one do to properly store a block of cheese in the refrigerator?

I'm ashamed to admit I store cheese in a Ziplock sandwich bag which is so ghetto. I always keep my eyes peeled for something suitable for cheese storage in cooking supply stores but never see anything for the fridge.

Any suggestions?

Call me ghetto 'cos I use ziplocs or cling wrap. And I wash and reuse the bags.

Air is the nemy of cheese during storage, therefore, you will want to wrap the cheese as tight as possible. I use a platic wrap.

A friend just shared that wax paper works well. I will look into a dedicated plastic container for cheese as most of the blocks I buy are about the same size wedge.

Wax paper is proper, plastic should really never touch it. Cheese Paper | Keep your cheese tasting better. Kitchen Krafts This is what I use for "good" cheese. If you are putting some cheddar in a tupperware container, don't worry about it, you won't notice any real change. Just eat it fast to be sure.
