If you plan on keeping your cheese for a longer time, please vacuum seal it again once the cheese has arrived. Otherwise, we recommend keeping the cheese in tight plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out. Sometimes the cheese might be a little softer and start "sweating." If this happens, please put the cheese back in the fridge and it will become harder again. This won't affect the taste or quality of the cheese.

Wrap Gouda cheese in wax paper or parchment paper first, then cover it with a layer of plastic wrap or place it in a resealable plastic bag. This allows the cheese to breathe while preventing it from drying out.

Alternatively, you can use cheese-specific storage paper or bags that are designed to maintain the optimal humidity for cheese.

The cheese is best stored in the fridge between temperatures of 1.7°C and 7°C.

Can I Freeze Cheese?

It is better not to freeze cheese because this will affect the taste.

We recommend keeping the cheese outside the fridge for 30 minutes before eating. This way the flavour will be best enjoyed.

Although it rarely happens, no need to worry! Sometimes this can happen over time. You can cut off the moldy part, ensuring to cut about an inch around and below the mold.

The remaining cheese should be fine to eat. However, if the mold has deeply penetrated the cheese, it’s best to discard it.
