Traditionally, cheeses were wrapped in linen or waxed paper (cling film is not recommended as the film traps moisture) to allow for air circulation. Some people recommend that cheese should be stored in a cool place, not in a fridge - I suppose it depends on whether you have central heating?
But, I buy my extra matured cheddar only when I need to. Let the supermarket have the problem of cheese storage!

How long can you keep cheese before it molds?

Depending on how you store it, different cheeses last different amounts of time. Hard cheeses can last a couple months, soft cheeses a week. If you wrap soft cheeses to keep the air out, it will last a lot longer. You can also shred cheese and freeze it so it last longer. If you have mold, you can scare off the mold and a little extra, and the rest is still good.

How long can you refrigerate cheese?

The length of time a cheese can keep in your refrigerator will depend upon the packaging, previous handling and the type of cheese. Soft or fresh cheeses will not keep as long as aged and hard cheeses. Deli sliced cheese will be at their best only a few days. Unopened containers of commercially packaged cheeses should last through the date on the package. Once opened, all bets are off and it should probably be used within a week or two - the sooner, the better.


Why does a cheese contain sodium chloride?

Salt (sodium chloride) serves as a catalyst and/or a speeder-upper for many reactions, including the ones that turn milk or cream into cheese. There are cheeses that can be made with little or no salt, but they are almost all soft cheeses, ones that are made in a short period of time (such as mozzarella). Aged cheeses pretty much need salt to keep things going until they turn into something that's recognizable as cheddar or gruyere or whatever.
