The optimal storage of cheese

Storing cheese is an art that requires a combination of knowing the type of cheese, the right temperature and humidity, and choosing the right container. Here is some information and tips for storing cheese optimally.

The optimum temperature for storing cheese

Most cheeses should be stored at a cool temperature between 4 and 12 degrees Celsius for optimal flavor and texture. Too cold or too warm can affect texture and flavor. As a rule, cheese should be kept on the lowest shelf in the refrigerator to ensure a constant temperature.

The optimal humidity when storing cheese

Humidity is also an important factor in cheese storage. Most cheeses require relative humidity of around 85 to 90 percent. Too little moisture can cause the cheese to dry out and lose flavor and texture. Too much moisture can cause mold to form or the cheese to become slimy. A container with a lid or foil can help regulate moisture.

Optimal air circulation when storing cheese

Cheese should be stored in a room with adequate air circulation. A refrigerator or pantry is often the best place. Cheese left in a plastic wrap or airtight container for too long can lose its aroma and flavor.

The different types of cheese

There are many different types of cheese, and each type of cheese has different storage and preservation requirements. Fresh cheeses like ricotta or cream cheese should be consumed within a few days of purchase. Hard cheeses like cheddar or parmesan can be stored longer if stored properly.

The length of time when storing cheese

Cheese storage times vary depending on the type of cheese and how it is stored. Fresh cheeses should be eaten within a few days. Soft cheeses should be consumed within 1-2 weeks, while hard cheeses can be stored for up to a month or more.

Mold formation when storing cheese

If mold develops on cheese, it doesn’t necessarily have to be thrown away. Hard cheeses can easily be sliced ​​to remove the mold, while soft cheeses may need to be discarded. However, if the mold has spread to the entire cheese or there is an unpleasant odor, the cheese should be discarded.
