There are as many types of cheese as there are stars in the sky: Parmesan, blue, Gouda, Brie, Cheddar, mozzarella, Asiago, pepperjack, Camembert, feta, Gorgonzola, chèvre—the list goes on and on. Italy alone has over a thousand varieties of cheese.

If you enjoy fresh cheese—whether on a charcuterie board or as a topping for your favorite pasta dish—you want to get the most out of this dairy delicacy. Too many blocks of Cheddar have gone moldy in the back of the fridge when left in a half-open wrapper or tossed into a sandwich bag. Properly storing cheese will keep it fresh and tasty. Amazon shoppers love these nine clever cheese storage solutions, starting at $10.

$18 at Amazon

Nearly 9,000 Amazon shoppers have given five-star ratings on these special food wraps. Made of beeswax, organic cotton, and tree resin, the eco-friendly wraps are reusable for up to a year. Warm the “paper” in your hand, and it will become malleable enough to wrap around fresh cheese, produce, bread, or other foods. When it cools, the wrap creates a seal to lock in freshness.

One Amazon shopper praised the durability and functionality of the wrap, saying that it “sticks way better than plastic wrap.” They also appreciated the “cute designs” and the various styles to choose from. This honeycomb pack comes with three sizes: small, medium, and large.

Formaticum Cheese Storage Bags, 15-Pack

At first glance, the Formaticum cheese storage bags look like a fancy paper sack you’d use for a school lunch, but it is so much more than that. The bags are specially designed to control airflow, letting the cheese “breathe” and maintaining the delicate balance of moisture inside.

“My husband and I have a huge collection of different kinds of cheese, but some of it gets moldy before we even get to use it. These bags are the real deal!” said one five-star reviewer. “They do a beautiful job of keeping the cheeses fresh and breathable for a longer storage life in the fridge.” They claimed the bags were “worth every single penny.”

Each of the 15 bags has a convenient label to mark the type of cheese, the milk source, and the date. You can reuse the bags a few times, though Formaticum recommends storing the same kind of cheese in them. The brand also has longer-lasting reusable bags made of a thicker material.

Food Huggers has convenient silicone caps for saving butter sticks, fresh produce, and blocks of cheese. They are a compact solution that won’t take up extra space in your fridge. This set of four comes with a variety of sizes to protect different kinds of semi-hard block cheese.

One happy customer wished they’d “known about this sooner.” Another shopper celebrated that using these silicone food huggers “reduces the need for plastic zipper bags.” No wasting money on disposable bags or tossing out rancid cheese.

Some cheeses are true works of art; now you can display them as such, while keeping them fresh. This container has a 3.6 x 8.75-inch base and a see-through, domed lid that prevents odors from entering or escaping (Roquefort and taleggio are famed for their potent aromas).

“The included cutting board feature is so handy!” cheered one five-star reviewer. “I always kept my half-pound cheese blocks in small glass containers, but would have to take them out onto a cutting board or plate to cut off a piece. It looks nice and is sturdy. Washes easily in the dishwasher. Recommend this for cheese lovers!”

Mepal Modula Rounded Food Storage Box, Set of 3

Amazon

$23 at Amazon

There are many storage solutions for block cheese, but what about pre-sliced deli cheeses like Swiss, provolone, or Havarti? Those packages often have weak “seals” that don’t do much to prevent molding and oxidation. Check out this 3-tiered storage box, especially if you’re a sandwich lover. The slim boxes store sliced cheeses or deli meats and seal freshness in with an airtight lid. It’s neater and more effective than leaving the ingredients in flimsy packaging—plus it looks nice.

Nearly 9,000 customers gave the food storage container five stars. Reviewers gush about the box’s transparency, compact design, effectiveness, and the fact that it’s dishwasher- and freezer-safe.

Chef'n Cheese Storage Container

This clever container is a 3-in-1 tool with a sleek aesthetic. As its name implies, the oblong container stores cheese and keeps it fresh in the fridge, but it has two other handy features. The L-shaped base doubles as a cutting board, so you can store and serve on the same surface—no need to dirty up a cutting board. Additionally, there’s a thin blade built into the clear lid so you can cut a block into slices without needing a fancy cheese knife.

Five-star reviewers praised the sharpness of the built-in blade, the uniform cuts, the ease of cleaning, and the anti-slip pads on the bottom. One reviewer called it a “worthy edition” for their fridge.

Keeping cheese fresh is serious business, but that doesn’t mean the containers need a serious appearance. This entertaining box resembles a cartoonish block of cheese, complete with a bright yellow-orange color and little holes fit for a hungry mouse. It’s designed to protect both hard and soft cheeses from drying out or getting crushed by other things in the fridge.

“[It’s an] excellent cheese keeper,” said a pleased reviewer. “No other food keeper has the feature of a space to put a wet paper towel. It really keeps cheese fresh, and the box is large enough to hold more than one piece of cheese. Completely satisfied.”

Over 6,000 shoppers rated the container five stars. “I bought this whimsical little pod for my kitchen, and it has quickly become the star of the fridge.
