Storage of herbal cheese

Proper storage of wine cheese

If you want to store large pieces or a whole herbal cheese wheel more than 2-3 weeks, we recommend the use of a tea towel. To do this, take a clean tea towel, soak it in salted water (just add a little salt), squeeze it out and wrap the cheese with the damp cloth. Ideally, this process is repeated every 2-3 days.

If the cheese turns white or stains it is usually the salt or proteinCasein is a constituent of the protein (protein) of cow's milk, which is obtained for cheese production. » More info that crystallizes due to the temperature difference. These places are easy to rub off.

The use of aluminum foil is possible (but we advise against it) if it is supplemented with many small holes because of the air supply.

No bread contact – yeasts

Please never place the cheese on boards, wood, documents, etc., where bread used to be. The yeast residues of the bread quickly make the cheese moldy.
