It turns out that goat cheese needs to be packaged in a completely different way than mozzarella! Follow these simple tips to keep your cheese fresh for a long time.
- The plastic bag does the job, but it is far from ideal for storing cheese. Storage and packaging of leftover cheese depends on the specific type (see list below).
- Any type of cheese should be stored in the vegetable compartment - the temperature in this area is ideal for storing the cheese properly.
- Wrap the piece you just bought with plastic wrap or wax paper to wrap the cheese after each use.
- The storage time depends on the type of cheese; in general, the harder the cheese, the longer it will retain its flavor and aroma.
How to pack cheese depending on its type?
Hard, aged cheeses (Parmigiano-Reggiano, aged Gouda): wrap in edible paper, then wrap in plastic wrap.
Blue Cheese (Gorgonzola, Roquefort): wrap in plastic wrap.
Semi-hard and hard cheeses (Cheddar, Swiss, Gruyere): wrap in plastic wrap.
Soft, semi-hard cheeses (goat, Camembert, Brie, Limburger): Place in a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid.
Fresh cheeses in water (Mozzarella or Feta): Leave the cheese in the manufacturer's packaging, changing the water every couple of days.
Now you know that the shelf life of such a delicious product depends on the packaging, and you will be able to correctly apply the knowledge in practice.
