The Cheese Lover writes that one of the reasons proper cheese storage is so important is because cheese goes bad quickly if it is in an environment that causes it to sweat, creating too much moisture. Store your cheese in a drawer in the refrigerator and wrap it in wax paper if possible, or aluminum foil for blue cheeses. On average, cheese is only good for about three to five days, but with some helpful hints, you may be able to keep it a bit longer.
Once the cheese is sliced, storage becomes different. Place your cheese in a plastic container with a lid to help keep opened and sliced cheese fresh and to help prevent the refrigerator from smelling kind of gross, The Cheese Lover advises. You can even plop a sugar cube or two in the container to help with freshness.
According to OHbaby, sugar cubes soak up moisture — and that’s good news for your cheese. There’s a delicate balance between drying out the cheese and protecting it from too much moisture, but an airtight container and a couple of sugar cubes should do the trick.
