It is time to treat our beloved cheese with the respect it deserves - caring for cheese correctly protects your investment! We all know that good cheese is quite the investment, but it is well worth it. For the best possible flavor, try to avoid buying plastic-wrapped, pre-cut pieces. If you must buy cheese pre-cut never buy it more than 1 day after the cut date. If you wrap your cheese in plastic wrap - STOP. Cheese is alive, it needs to breath, plastic cuts off the air and can trap moisture onto the surface of the cheese. If your cheese has come wrapped in cheese paper, keep it wrapped in this.

Cheese paper is 2 layers - the first is a breathable layer that takes the moisture away from the surface of the cheese, the outer layer is a waxy paper that keeps moisture in to prevent the cheese from becoming dried out. We have found a resource, Formaticum, that sells cheese paper online ( the paper is imprinted with a wonderful map of the US pinpointing founder’s favorite artisinal cheese farms). Here is a video from Formaticum, that show the cheese paper and how to correctly wrap your cheese. So much care and hard work goes into making cheese lets not ruin the taste and good looks by not caring for it properly.
