How to Store Cheese
If you have a larger than usual amount of cheese, either leftovers from a special event or a special, hard-to-get cheese bought in quantity, you’ll want to store it properly either in the refrigerator or the freezer. Hard cheeses will keep well in the refrigerator for a month or more and in the freezer for about six months. Read on to learn how to store cheese.
