Cheese preservation
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.
“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! ”
Claudia O.
Yelp“A little gem in the region”
“In fact, some of their cheeses can be found at Costco, but most of the stronger ones need to be picked up here, and it’s well worth the trip from Montreal (about 50 minutes) near the border.
It’s local, it tastes great, and if you drive another 5 minutes, you’ll be at Lake Champlain (Venise-en-Québec).”
