We import our Formaggio Kitchen branded cheese paper from France! This special paper is specifically formulated to preserve cheese for as long as possible. It is perforated to allow the cheese to breathe and create a 'cave-like' environment for the cheese to be stored in. Use the paper to wrap your cheese and store the wrapped cheese in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. You'll find that your cheese will last much longer than when stored any other way (especially in plastic wrap!).
The roll contains 25 sheets that are around 13 inches long by 10 inches wide.
We advise buying small quantities more frequently to avoid long term storage because the complex flavors and aromas of good cheese will change and degrade over time. For appetizer quantities and not much left over, we suggest 1/4 lb per person. For larger servings or if you'd like some left overs, we suggest a full 1/2 lb per person.
You can serve any number of cheeses: a single magnificent chèvre or a large selection celebrating the diversity of aromas, flavors and textures found in various traditions around the world. Choose what you like and what you expect your audience will enjoy. We usually go for a selection of three to four cheeses with various milk types, textures and flavors.
Take your cheese out of the refrigerator an hour or so before serving. Just before serving, unwrap each cheese and scrape the cut surface with a knife edge to remove a thin layer. If you notice dried out parts or mold on the face of the cheese, cut it away.
Most cheeses have rinds and most rinds are edible. If you don’t like the taste or texture, cut it off.
Cheese stored for some time may grow exterior molds. Typical molds will be white or blue-green but you can sometimes come across yellow or gray. Most of the time, you can refresh the cheese by cutting away those affected areas. The cheese underneath will be fine.
Store in a higher humidity area of your refrigerator - likely an enclosed spot which allows for limited airflow rather than constant drafts.
Use a clean wrap of the cheese paper, or, in a pinch use parchment (for softer cheeses) or aluminum foil (for firm to hard cheeses).
Enjoy!
I'm so glad I found a source of cheese paper that professionals use. It's perfect for extending the life and quality of cheese to be stored in the fridge. There are limited options for consumers and this is much less expensive than anything else I've found.
