get the most out of your cheese
We called in food storage experts to learn the best ways to store and increase the longevity of your non-dairy cheese. After all, this cheese is far too delicious to let any go to waste!
1
Use by…
We recommend enjoying your cheese at its peak, within 5-10 days of opening.
2
Reduce airflow
Store properly wrapped cheeses in a vegetable drawer or crisper to reduce dehydration from airflow. Details below!
3
Re-wrap
After each open, replace the wrapping to maintain humidity and prevent aerobic microbes, yeasts, and molds from entering.
4
Avoid odors
Keep your cheese away from odiferous foods so they don’t absorb other strong flavors.
how should i wrap my cheese?
Well, it depends on what kind of cheese you have! Check out these recommendations by our experts:
chèvre & fromage
Securely wrap in cheese paper and seal opening with tape or a sticker.
If wrapping with waxed paper, follow with a wrap of plastic
dill havarti, mozzarella, parmesan, pepper jack & gruyere
Wrap in cheese or wax paper & store in a partially opened plastic zip bag.
bries & blue
Securely wrap in cheese paper or waxed cotton wrap, and store in the crisper.
Make sure cut surfaces are protected from drying out by applying a piece of wax paper to the exposed area before storing.
After a few days, you may see a continuation of mold growth on your rind (a rind is deliberately grown mold!). This is normal & expected.
Best within 5-7 days
