Cheese is a food product that is always present in every refrigerator.

It is used both as a separate dish and as an ingredient in many recipes.

Culinary expert of HERE NEWS, chef and fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova will tell you how to keep cheese fresh for a long time.

How to Store Cheese

Let's start with the fact that the cheese must be properly wrapped immediately after opening. To do this, you need to use two different layers.

The first layer is waxed or parchment paper. Both of these materials allow the cheese to breathe.

The second layer that should be wrapped around the product is aluminum foil. It will not allow other aromas from the refrigerator to penetrate, and will also protect the cheese from spores and yeast.

It is recommended to store cheese in the coldest part of the refrigerator, where the temperature does not exceed 7 degrees Celsius.

But you shouldn't freeze cheese, because this product is alive. Freezing will indeed stop the aging process, but it will also change its taste after defrosting.
