What is the best way to store Cracker Barrel Cheese?
Wrap it Up. Keep cheese in its original wrapper until ready to use. After opening, rewrap the unused portion tightly in plastic wrap. Remember; keep air out and the flavour in. Cheese may pick up odours from other items in your refrigerator. Be sure to rewrap cheese in clean plastic wrap each time it is opened. Keep it Cool. Cheese should always be stored at cool temperatures (35°F to 40°F). After serving, unused cheese should be returned to cool storage as soon as possible. Freeze it. Although it’s best when served fresh, cheese may be frozen. Freeze in 1 pound pieces or less. Double wrap with plastic or freezer wrap. Freeze quickly and thaw slowly. Frozen cheese is best used in cooking as the freezing process does dry the cheese out slightly and it becomes more crumbly in texture.
