Laurent Bonjour's Cheese corner

Once you've unwrapped a cheese, the wrapping should be discarded and the cheese should be put in a new wrapping, as reused materials won't reseal properly.

The main thing is to keep the cheese covered and moist, still able to breath, but without breathing so much that it dries out and cracks.

To accomplish this wrap the cheese tightly in aluminum foil, waxed paper or better plastic wrap.

Typically a hard cheese should be consumed within 20 - 30 days of purchase
