Storage Time
Hard artisan cheeses can last for several weeks to months when properly wrapped in the refrigerator, while softer varieties are best enjoyed within 1-2 weeks. Freezing is generally not recommended for optimal texture.
Temperature
Store artisan cheese in the refrigerator, ideally between 2–7°C (35–45°F), in a slightly humid environment.
Signs of Spoilage
- Visible mold growth beyond the natural rind (unless it's a cheese like blue cheese where mold is intentional).
- An off-putting, sour, or ammonia-like smell.
- A slimy or sticky texture on the surface.
