We recommend eating the cheese within 6 months after you receive it. Tips for savoring all the aroma and flavor of this cheese: - Keep it in a cool, dry place between 2º and 8º C (you can use the lower part of your refrigerator).
- Serve it at room temperature.
- After cutting the cheese, store it immediately in the refrigerator in a hermetically sealed plastic container along with a piece of dry bread. The bread will absorb moisture and protect the cheese from mold and excessive drying. Replace the bread when it is covered with mold.
