Will cheese last longer if stored in aluminum foil?

Answer 1

I have found that brick cheese, such as Tillamook Cheddar cheese keeps better if wrapped in aluminum foil vs plastic wrap or a plastic baggie.

Answer 2

Cheese can last longer when stored in aluminum foil because it helps to minimize exposure to light and air. However, it's important to first wrap the cheese in wax paper or parchment paper before wrapping it in aluminum foil to prevent it from coming into direct contact with the foil, which can impart a metallic taste to the cheese. Refrigerate the cheese properly to ensure its longevity.
