Temperature: The cheese should be stored in the refrigerator, preferably in the coldest area, for example in the cheese drawer if present, where the temperature should be between 4°C and 8°C.
Packaging: Once opened, the cheese should be wrapped in cheese paper or aluminum foil to prevent air from drying it out. Avoid plastic wrap, as it can trap moisture and promote the growth of molds.

Always remember to let the cheese come to room temperature for about an hour before serving it to allow the flavors to fully develop.
