- Avoid plastic wrap
Plastic wrap doesn't breathe and will disrupt the aging proces of artisan cheeses. Younger cheeses are especially sensitive to being covered in plastic. - Avoid wedges
Unless you plan to eat the entire wheel, cut the cheese in slices to make it easier to re-wrap in the original packaging. - Age your cheese
The Alemar style cheeses we deliver are fresh. So they are young and mild. If you keep them in the original package, you can age them to your liking. We have a wheel of Bent River that's been in our fridge aging for two months and is just getting to its peak. Check out the "made on date" with your package and track at what age you prefer to enjoy them before opening. - Room temp
Allow your cheeses to come to room temperature. - Once Open
If properly wrapped, you'll be able to keep high-quality cheeses for several weeks after opening. - Cheeses without special wrapping
If your cheese was originally packaged in plastic, it is a different style and no longer fermenting. We prefer to re-package those in silicone bags so it is re-usable and doesn't waste plastic.
