We've received lots of complimentary letters telling us what a wonderful invention this Tefal Cheese Preserver is, as normal fridge storage tends to dry cheese out, so it quickly loses taste and texture. That’s because a tight seal of plastic doesn’t allow your cheese to breathe the way other storage methods do. This paper-plastic combo works great for protecting your cheese from the off-flavors and drying air of your fridge while also letting it breathe.

Since the weave of the material is pretty tight (it has to be to keep the grounds out of your coffee), you’ll find it does a beautiful job of straining other foods. Factors like acidity and salt content can cause a cheese to take on a slight aluminum flavor—a tasting note nobody wants.

Whether you have disposable coffee filters or a reusable one, either will work in place of cheesecloth when straining. That way, it will taste lively and flavorful, with smooth, supple textures when you’re ready to eat. It’ll slowly release moisture, maintaining the 70% humidity your cheese needs to taste great and last for up to three weeks without premature molding or drying out. It won’t catch quite as many of the fine particles as cheesecloth, so you need to choose the sieve that makes sense for the recipe.This means it can’t release gases like ammonia, which can build up and create unpleasant flavors and aromas in your cheese. If you’ve ever worked with cheesecloth before, you know just how quickly it wears out and how difficult it can be to clean.

A unique, micro-filter membrane in the lid prevents odours and regulates the humidity, allowing cheese to mature naturally whilst preserving its full flavour and moisture.If you need cheesecloth for straining, a fine wire sieve is often more than adequate for foods like broths and cheeses. Its original purpose was for making and wrapping homemade cheese, but it has become a useful tool in other recipes as well. They can be composted, if that’s something you have access to, but you still have to replace them regularly. Brie, Cheddar, Gouda, Manchego, Gruyere—they’ll keep for up to 7 to 10 days in the Grotto at room temperature, always the perfect temperature when you’re ready for a snack.

Because of this, it’s important that your cheese storage method allows your cheese to breathe without letting it dry out.If it’s a waxed rind and it’s flipped in your cellar a couple of times per month, you can maintain even aging of the cheese and could potentially age it for months or years!
