Wrap your cheese, but don't use plastic One of the two main goals when wrapping and storing cheese is to allow a little bit of airflow so that your fancy cheese can still breathe.

Dr. Karan Rangarajan recommends wrapping cheese in cheese storage paper, parchment paper or wax paper and not placing it on its own in a plastic bag in the refrigerator.

Plastic waste is filling the world’s landfills and clogging rivers and streams. Recycling hasn’t kept up; less than 10 percent of plastic waste gets recycled.
