Is it okay to wrap the whole uncut wheels of Brie for storage or display?
While plastic wrap is great for most cheese usage, it is definitely not a good idea to wrap uncut wheels of Brie, Camembert or any soft-ripened cheeses, for that matter. The reasoning behind this is that cheeses with mold crust need oxygen in order to mature. Putting plastic around the wheel will suffocate it and inhibit its flavor and texture development. Once the cheese is cut however, by all means, wrap the cheese.
