βœ”Β Step 2: Add a loose outer layer

After wrapping in paper, add aΒ loose outer layer of aluminum foilΒ or place it in aΒ partially open plastic bag.

This creates a micro-environment that balances airflow and moistureβ€”no suffocation, no drying out.

βœ”Β Step 3: Store it in the warmest part of the fridge

Cheese prefers slightly warmer temperatures than the freezer-cold back of your fridge. The best spots are:

  • AΒ vegetable drawer, or
  • AΒ dedicated cheese/meat drawer

These areas maintain stable humidity and temperature.
