Cheese preservation

Soft cheese (both washed and bloomy), Soft cheese (both washed and bloomy)

To best preserve soft cheese, 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 3-4 weeks refrigerated.

Preservation
  • “This is THE cheese factory par exellence”

    We stopped to see what it was. What a surprise—it’s the largest variety of cheese I’ve ever seen. You can taste them. The prices are very affordable, if not better than at the grocery store. It’s a must-see. Definitely worth the detour.

    *Translated from French

  • Love this cheese company, but as someone who sells your cheese I don’t quite understand the bipolar minds behind the stickers/ logo! Always receiving a new one every time! Is it not possible to stick to one?! All of the members of our store collectively agreed that the red is the best looking.
