Cheese preservation

Semi-firm & firm cheese Washed Rinds

To best preserve semi firm to firm cheese with washed rinds, store them in the fridge between 2-4 degrees in the paper provided.

The paper will get malleable every time it is unwrapped but will not lose its efficiency to keep the cheese fresh. It is very normal that a layer of white mold grows on the paste of the cheese, this is the natural process of the rind trying to form.

This mold is not harmful; you may remove a thin slice and keep consuming the cheese. The cheese will keep for 4-5 weeks refrigerated.

Preservation
  • “We love it!”

    We have our vacation home just over the border in Vermont and make our mandatory trip to Fritz Kaiser quite often. We love it! We have introduced this wonderful cheese to our visiting friends and family and now they are hooked too! Can’t wait until we go again!

  • “Very friendly and helpful staff.”

    Just north of the US border very cute cheese shop. Many choices with just as many samples to help You decide.

    We were traveling far and were offered frozen bottles of water to keep cheese cool. Very friendly and helpful staff.
