How is cheese made?
Cheese is made by coagulating the milk, usually with the use of rennet or microbial starter cultures, then separating the curds from the whey and shaping the curds into the desired form. The cheese is then aged for a period of time, from days to several years, depending on the type of cheese.

How should I store my cheese?
Almost all cheese should be stored in the refrigerator, wrapped tightly in wax paper or aluminum foil to prevent it from drying out. It can also be stored in a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid.

How long does italian cheese last?
