What is a great device and/or method to store fine cheese?

eat it
seriously Rubbermaid is an awesome brand

You STORE cheese?

This is another type that is more elegant for presentation.

I would just wrap the cheese tightly in plastic wrap and change it fairly often. Anything else would take up too much space.

@Jeruba That’s always been my solution, too, but apparently plastic wrap suffocates cheese, which alters the flavor for the worse.

You are correct about the plastic wrap.

The item you linked to looks perfect. I have not personally tried it but I read the description and it’s pretty logical. I’m going to order one.

This article has some great cheese storage tips. The recommend Tupperware Fridgesmart containers because the cheese doesn’t have to sit directly on the bottom of the container.

this is an interesting question!

@Buttonstc, who is correct about the plastic wrap?

Sorry. I meant Wild Potato.

Cheese needs to “breathe” and the plastic wrap hastens mold development and sliminess.

…at least according to everything I’ve heard on the subject from knowledgeable folks on Food Network and PBS.

Hmm, I guess I have some cheesical transgressions to rectify. There’s no end to the number of things you can turn out to be guilty of, is there?

@Jeruba, perhaps this is why “the cheese stands alone…” teeheehee
