who knew?

I LOVE cheese, but I never know the best way to store it. This is from Real Simple. I thought I'd share:

Question: I like to buy a variety of cheese. I usually store them in ziploc bags. Is there a better or neater way to store cheese?

Answer: A resealable plastic bag will do the job, though it's not the ideal storage solution. The best way to wrap leftover cheese really depends on the particular type. Stash the cheese in the vegetable crisper of the refrigerator where the temperature is cold and stable. Use a fresh piece of plastic wrap or wax paper to rewrap it after each use. The length of time you can keep cheese also varies according to the variety; in general, the harder the cheese, the longer it will last.

Hard, aged cheeses (Parmigiano-Reggiano, aged Gouda): First, wrap in wax or parchment paper, then add a layer of plastic wrap.

Blue cheeses (Gorgonzola, Roquefort): Wrap in plastic wrap.

Semi-hard and hard cheeses (Cheddar, Swiss, Gruyere): Wrap in plastic wrap.

Soft, semi-soft, and stinky cheeses (Goat, Camembert, Brie, Limburger): Place in a resealable plastic container.

Fresh cheeses in water (Mozzarella or feta): Leave the cheese in the original packaging, changing the water every couple of days.
