dddave Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I recently bought a nice wedge of Gouda and was rationing it sparingly. I was away for a few days and when I returned, it had mold on all sides. I had stored it in the fridge wrapped in plastic wrap. What are the best ways to store cheese?

smokie36 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Wrap it in paper first...then in an airtight container....and keep in the fridge. Avoid plastic. You can always cut off the mould and still eat the rest though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWJ Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 A vacuum packaging machine? A long time ago I had one. Think it was called Seal a Meal. Really worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilgore Trout Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Clearly a cheese cloth is the best option, you can always wrap it in a paper towel and put in a ziplock bag, that helps too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michaelaway Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Zip lock bag with the air squeezed out, placed in the chiller bin of the frig, will last for quite a while, mold-free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unblocktheplanet Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 (edited) In Thailand, the only safe place for expensive cheese is in the the FREEZER, well wrapped. It just takes some advance planning to take it out, overnight in the fridge, then ready to eat. After use, refreeze!

ELCata Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 During the great fire of London, Samuel Peeps buried his cheese in his garden. Should I help to put out the fire? fuc_k no, save the cheese! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyDrinker Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 How long did you have the cheese for??? I wrap mine tightly in clingfilm and never have a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
