| Cheese Paper Gift Set |
Formaticum is known for it's gourmet cheese papers, which help extend the life of your favorite cheeses (gourmet or not) by allowing the cheese to breathe, thereby preventing mold and spoiling.
I can tell you that since hosting a giveaway for their cheese papers early last year, I have not wrapped a single block of cheese in anything BUT their papers since!
I love cheese so much, that I often have multiple blocks....let's say 4-5 different types minimum in my fridge at any given time (so sue me). I used to not be able to finish each cheese, before they started having a little green mold on the surface that I'd have to cut off, or some slime beginning to form.
Since using Formaticum's cheese papers, I can't remember the last time I saw mold (the bad kind) on my cheese.

I was not aware that cheese needed to breathe. I thought if you wanted to keep cheese better longer, you were supposed to remove all the air and plastic wrap cling was a good thing.
ReplyDeleteYou'd think so...right! Yeah, I used to too, but after using these cheese papers I found I was totally wrong. My Saran wrapped cheese declined so much faster than my cheese paper wrapped cheese!
DeleteI don't have a favorite type of cheese, although my digestive system sure does. Being lactose intolerant and loving cheeses of all kinds means that I have to be very careful of the types that I eat. I have found that for best results, I must stick to the very hard cheeses. The softer they are, the more my system rebels.

ReplyDeleteWrapping & storage for cheese
ReplyDeleteCheddar
ReplyDeleteThere is no wrong way to wrap...just fold up cheese and it stays fresher...Erinn A
ReplyDeleteStore each type of cheese separately. (wish I could get the man to believe this, I'm tired of my gruyere smelling like cheddar)
ReplyDelete@auntietina - Ha! Tell that man to get with the program! Cheese likes their own space...just like he does when he's watching football (if I may be so bold to stereotype...which I never do ;-)
DeleteMy absolute favorite is a strong bleu. Yumm.
ReplyDeleteHonestly? Romano. I'm a nightmare at italian restaurants.
ReplyDeleteBrie for sure :-)
ReplyDeleteThe cheese paper mimics the cheese cave environment! How neat!
ReplyDeleteGorgonzola...but I seriously love ALL cheese!
ReplyDeleteI learned that there are eight places in Ohio where I can buy their products. One of those is in Akron, which is not too far from where I live!

That storing cheese in non-porous materials (I suppose my zip lock bags count!) can cause the cheese to smell and taste like ammonia. Who knew?!
ReplyDeleteI love all cheese!! But the sharper the flavor, the more I enjoy it. Except blue cheese, not a fan!
ReplyDeleteI love havarti on sandwiches!
ReplyDeleteThere is not one particular "right" way to fold or wrap your cheese with the cheese paper! Which is good, since I will probably be bad at it.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE cheese, but I think my favorite is brie.
ReplyDeleteI learned that plastic wrap is bad for cheese!
ReplyDeleteI learned that the cheese paper acts like the natural casing that cheese has!
ReplyDeleteI love most cheeses, but I think Brie is my ultimate favorite!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that cheese needed to breathe - I always put mine in plastic wrap or a baggie thinking it's going to prevent mold
ReplyDelete@Laura, Right? Me too, until I found this product. It totally makes a difference and adds SO much life to your cheese!

This is so interesting, because you would think that you want to keep the air out, but apparently that is so not the case!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know cheese had to breathe! No wonder my goat cheese doesn't last after it's opened! Thanks for making me learn that!

Cutting soft cheese while is cold will be cleaner and will make it easier to move the cheese to the serving dish. Harder cheeses such as Parmigiano-Reggiano or aged Gouda are much easier to cut at room temperature. For hard cheese, a sharp cheese knife with an offset handle is the professional utensil of choice. For soft cheese a cheese harp, wire or Roquefort bow will ensure clean cuts without deforming shape. Always use clean tools to prevent the introduction of new molds or bacteria.
ReplyDeletei love mozzarella
ReplyDeleteI learned that it extends the life of the cheese. I also learned that they have cool products like, Cheese Dome - Bamboo Base.

Keeps your cheese longer. I gought 6 packages today alone. Trader Joes has tons of different types and I hate to have it turn moldy. Cheese is great for our low carb meals.
