I’m definitely a huge fan of cheese and I’ve been known to hit the cheese counter at our local market Eastern Market from time to time.

When it came time to storing my cheese, I’d always just thrown it in a plastic baggy and put it in the cheese drawer in my fridge.   Isn’t that what everyone does?

Well, according to a post in Serious Eats, there are best practices for storing cheese.

When I worked as a cheesemonger, we always advised our customers never to store their cheeses in direct contact with plastic, and not to wrap them too tightly.
