Storage
 heese should be stored in it's original wrapper or any wrapping that will form a moisture barrier. Each time the cheese is opened, rewrap in a new plastic wrap and return to the refrigerator. When cheese is left uncovered for too long, it will become dried-out, leaving hard places around the edges.In this case, the hard area can be cut off.

Shelf Life and Refrigeration
Soft and semi-soft cheeses have a relatively short shelf life and they do not age. Because of their higher moisture content they should always be refrigerated.Hard cheeses have less moisture content and can resist for longer periods out of the refrigerator. They have a relatively long shelf life and will age relatively well. The storage point is essential for the quality and life of cheese. The cheese should be kept in a spot where the temperature is consistent, while at the same time should be away from other foods.Most natural cheeses can be successfully frozen for six to eight weeks with few varying results. Generally speaking, hard cheeses freeze better than soft cheeses.
