I just read this in the December Costco magazine and learned a couple things I didn't know, so I figured I'd pass it along to you in case you also need/want to learn some things about how to serve and store different types of cheese - it's good, useful info that I'll probably forget if I don't put it in a post so I can reference it later haha!
Here's a guide for how to handle 5 different types of cheese:
- Fresh - includes cream cheese, Feta, Goat cheese, Mozzarella
- serve: spread on baguette; with fruit, nuts or herbs; stuff peppers, mushrooms or chicken
- store: tightly wrapped for up to a week in the fridge
- Soft - includes Brie, Camembert
- serve: at room temperature on crackers or baguette; with apples, turkey or ham; bake in puff pastry
- store: in package for up to two weeks in the fridge
- Semisoft - includes Havarti, Jarlsberg
- serve: on sandwiches, salads, burgers, pizza, quiche, tarts and gratins
- store: in parchment paper for up to two weeks in the fridge
- Hard - includes Cheddar, Manchego, Parigiano-Reggiano
