Wrapping your cheese in clingfilm before storing it in the fridge could be making it go off more quickly, according to new advice from experts. The Good Housekeeping Institute (GHI) says cheese is best kept wrapped in waxed paper as this "strikes the right balance between stopping the cheese from drying out and preventing too much moisture from building up.” But how many of us have waxed paper to hand?
They also advise against storing all types of cheese in the fridge, citing advice from the experts at cheesemonger Paxton & Whitfield who say hard cheeses can be store in any room with a constant temperature of 8-15°C. Soft cheeses, on the other hand, needed to be refrigerated at 5-8°C.
They went on to add that cheeses stored in the fridge such as Brie or mozzarella should be kept in the salad drawer as they thrive best in a moderately humid environment: "The salad drawer is actually the best place in the fridge to store it, as it retains just enough moisture.
How do you store cheese? Do you automatically put it in the fridge?
