How To Store Blue Cheese?

Storing blue cheese correctly is crucial for preserving its flavors and textures.

After purchasing or opening a blue cheese wedge, it is recommended to wrap it in wax paper or aluminum foil, which allows the cheese to breathe while protecting it from excess moisture.

Placing the wrapped cheese in a airtight container further helps maintain freshness.

In the refrigerator, the cheese should be stored in the warmest part of the fridge, typically the cheese or vegetable drawer, away from strong-smelling foods to prevent flavor transfer.
