Does cheese get moldy in an airing cupboard?

Here's why:

* Moisture: Airing cupboards are designed to be humid, which promotes the growth of mold.

* Temperature: While not as warm as a refrigerator, airing cupboards can still be warm enough for mold to thrive.

* Lack of air circulation: If the cupboard is poorly ventilated, moisture can become trapped, creating the perfect environment for mold.

Tips for Storing Cheese in an Airing Cupboard:

* Wrap tightly: Store cheese in airtight containers or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or wax paper to prevent exposure to air.

* Use a cheese cloth: Wrap cheese in a cheese cloth to allow for some airflow and prevent condensation.

* Check regularly: Check the cheese frequently for signs of mold.

* Consider a cheese cave: If you frequently store cheese, consider investing in a dedicated cheese cave, which is a temperature and humidity-controlled environment ideal for cheese storage.

Note: If you find mold on your cheese, it's best to discard it. Mold can produce toxins that are harmful to health.
