Leftover cheese can quickly lose its flavour and texture if not stored correctly. Follow these simple tips to ensure your cheese stays fresh for longer! 

Wrap Properly 

Use wax paper or parchment paper to wrap the cheese, allowing it to breathe without drying out. Avoid plastic wrap directly on the cheese. 

Use Airtight Containers 

Place the wrapped cheese in an airtight container or a resealable bag to prevent moisture loss and odour absorption. 

Refrigerate in the Right Spot 

Store cheese in the cheese drawer or lower part of the fridge, where the temperature is most stable. 

Label and Date 

Always label your cheese with the date of storage to keep track of its freshness. 

Freeze for Longer Storage 

Hard cheeses like cheddar can be frozen. Wrap them well and thaw in the fridge before use.
