It may seem common sense to simply store cheese in the fridge after coming home from the shops, but there is an easy way to ensure it stays delicious for much longer.<\/p>\n
Cheese can last weeks if stored properly, but if the conditions are not right it can easily go hard, mouldy and begin to smell once spoiled.<\/p>\n
In order to keep cheese lasting longer it needs to breathe in order to avoid it from drying out or becoming too humid or sweaty.<\/p>\n
Luckily. One expert has given a very easy but detailed explanation of how to store cheese properly. Pam is a chef and cookbook writer who enjoys sharing her best food tips on social media in order \u201cto get you hungry and in the kitchen.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a recent TikTok video, Pam explained that cheese should not be left in its original packaging from the store.
