Cheese in the fridge

How do you store it?

Gladwraps had never cut it, lazy people that don't seem to cover things properly etc

Anyhow, about 20 years ago a friend of mine had a tupperware container (which I was always jealous of and wanted one too)

But never did get one.......................

Anyhow, I was in woollies and found a Decor one, and guess what?

It works and it was 5 bucks

So if you search Decor and

True.

Posted up cheese advice from the Mayo Clinic (reputable medical advice). Cheese goes mouldy in different ways depending on what germies they have (one for Stawka) and moisture content (soft or hard). All cheese should be kept out of the air.

I know this stuff. Have a degree that took in a lot of Microbiology.

With soft cheese with their own normal mould if it changes appearance then it's gone off e.g. Pink or green mould on the normal white.

OK, now we have got that out of the way I think it is time for a thermomix thread lol

Cheesecloth got its name as it was used to make, cheese. It is used to strain out the whey.

Don't know a thing about Thermomix-es 🙂

I use foil. Home brand is ok. Dont like cling wrap. Too difficult to use.

Apparently different cheeses need to be stored differently:

Yeah I guess bries and blue cheeses etc generally come in foil and keeping them that way seems fine.

I grate a bit of cheese most days so really was referring to tasty/average/cheddar type cheeses, I always found it a pain to unwrap or take in and out of ziplock bags which is why I really like the decor one.

Wet cheese are really the ones that require "tending" as the water can encourage growth. Anything else is really about what is convenient and keeps the air and moisture out.

Foil is fine too. Easier for hard cheese than soft as the runny cheeses can stick to normal foil. Brie etc. comes in a lined foil that's thicker too.

It's better to grate your own than buy pregrated. Pregrated has additives to stop it clumping and keep it drier. Could have crossthreaded with your Thermomix thread as you are keen to avoid additives 😉

blerk to already grated cheese in supermarkets
