Package

It is important to remember that polyethylene film is not suitable for storing cheese. It retains moisture and, as a result, promotes the appearance of mold.

Instead, it is better to use wax paper or parchment as packaging. These materials allow the cheese to breathe.

You also need to leave some space between the cheese and the packaging.

Use of salt

Use this tip to help prevent mold from growing on cheese.

Place some coarse salt in the bottom of the container and place the paper-wrapped cheese on top.

The salt will absorb excess moisture and create conditions in which mold cannot grow.

According to chefs, following these simple recommendations will help keep cheese fresh much longer.
