Storing Cheese

I store my cheese in a Tupperware cheese container. You can store a variety of cheeses in it without the flavors transferring to each other. Not sure how that works but it does work.

And you don't need to wrap the cheeses in plastic which makes it easy when you have to take it out to cut or grate.

Also like that it has a reversible base so you can turn it over to slice your cheese on.

For longer term storage, do you freeze cheese?

I've heard that you can do this, but I haven't tried it myself.

If you store cheese in tupperware instead of plastic wrap, does it get dried out and brittle on the outside, or does the tupperware prevent that?

Actually blueey, that's what I was wondering too. I buy cheddar slices and split the pack into two ziplock bags.

Sometimes I notice by the time it's almost finished, it's tasting "not fresh" before it should be, I think. It doesn't get hard around the edges, though.

Yeah, I'm wondering because a friend gave me a wheel of cheese a few weeks back, and storing it in plastic wrap just didn't work at all - it got all cracked and brittle.

i just cover my cheese in a thin cloth, which is translucent, that means it has many pores and then store it in a tupperware.
