Re: How do you store cheese?

I wrap in a paper towel then wrap tightly in saran wrap...but there has to be a better way.  I did purchase a 'special' cloth that is coated that was supposed to keep fresh...total waste of money.

 

I can't remember what the name of the cloth is...almost rubbery like a coated canvas...supposedly all the rage, lol.

I store it in the freezer and take out what I'm going to use.

I store blocked cheese in wax paper then a Ziploc bag. Stays very good.

Re: How do you store cheese?

I was told wax  paper which worked but couldn't keep it very long .

now I use the best plastic wrap I ever used and I buy it at Walmart of all places.  So easy to use , it's what chefs kitchens use   Sticks  fantastic and doesn't do all that tangling g up thing that Saran Wrap always did,   Keeps cheese perfectly as it sticks on itself very well

Re: How do you store cheese?

If I slice or grate it from a block, I line a plastic container with waxed paper and use the plastic container lid to seal it.  Usually Rubbermaid or Glad containers

I usually put it in a small freezer baggie in the fridge drawer.

Re: How do you store cheese?

I have given up on that.  We make a lot of home-made mostly veggie pizzas, but never use mozzarella on them.  We aren't crazy about it, and find we like other cheeses better.

 

For snacking and on anything we mostly just use those multi-packs of small squares of cheese.  And if it molds before we eat or use it, out it goes and it is what it is.  We do keep a block of good white cheddar of some kind, grated parm in a jar (Kirkland is pretty good) and feta in a jar to top salads and such.
