If you are the type of person who likes to host dinners and are a charcuterie board enthusiast, you are probably exposed to many cold types of meat and cheese leftovers. Cheese, delicious and fancy, has some storage keys in order to be preserved. We don’t want to find our beloved gouda with mold or our creamy brie without its moisture.
Formaticum cheese bags keep your cheese fresh
To remedy this problem, Mashed suggests using Formaticum cheese bags, a type of reusable bag made of the same material as the micro-perforated wax paper that cheese experts use in shops. Made in France, these bags are types of pockets where you can put your whole cheese or slices of them; they can also be used to store sandwiches, sausages, snacks, veggies, bread, snacks, and avocado (via Formaticum). For cheese, it’s recommended to reuse a bag for the same type of cheese (per Formaticum) and keep them in the fridge. Aside from being easy to use, they keep the freshness and flavor for a longer time, even for your next charcuterie board.
With these bags, you are all set for your cheese storage needs, but if looking for extra care, The Guardian recommends to double wrapping your cheese, which means, putting your bag in a plastic container in the fridge.
