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.

  • “Great cheese”

    This cute little fromagerie has great cheese and condiments. We enjoyed sampling a few of the cheeses and purchased our favorites along with crackers, coffee, and a few sweets. The coffee is made using Nespresso pods and the selection of cold beverages includes juice, soda water, and standard cold drinks. There are a couple of small tables to sit inside and enjoy the atmosphere!

  • “A wide variety of excellent local cheeses”

    A wide variety of excellent local cheeses. Several of these cheeses have won awards. On the spot, you can taste to make your choice. What’s more, the prices are reasonable!
