Practical solutions for cheese storage at home. This post covers cheese storage bags and cheese storage containers, including a cream cheese container and a sliced cheese container
Simple Cheese Storage
When storing cheese at home, two factors should be considered. First, cheese contact with air should be minimized to prevent dehydration (as well as other issues). If the cheese dries out, it loses its intended texture and may become unpalatable. However, some air contact is necessary because the cheese must still be allowed to breathe. Cheese contains living organisms, and these organisms need oxygen to live. Further, excess moisture may build up without proper ventilation. This excess moisture can lead to mold.
Second, the cheese storage container or cheese storage bag should be designed for compact, convenient, and safe storage. Most people have limited space in their refrigerators. Good compact organization makes efficient use of this limited space, makes using the refrigerator more convenient, and is also more pleasant to the eye and mind.
