It's always best to err on the side of caution. The exception is hard cheeses, which are easier to clean safely.

6. How to store cheese to prevent mold from forming

Proper storage can significantly reduce mold growth:

Wrap the cheese in wax paper, parchment paper, or cheese paper, then loosely in foil.

Store in a refrigerator at 1–3°C (34–38°F).

Avoid moisture build-up – store in the crisper drawer to ensure a stable environment.

Separate cheeses with strong flavors to prevent flavors from mixing and mold spores from spreading.

Regularly checking the quality of cheese and following hygiene rules (e.g. using clean knives) helps extend the shelf life and prevents unwanted mold growth.
