| Storage, Handling & Defrosting Recommendations:
Cheese is a delicate living product that
should be gently encouraged to perfection.
Here are some guidelines that will allow you
to experience Whitestone cheese at its best.
Remove from refrigeration at least one
hour before serving to allow the cheese to
come up to room temperature.
Whitestones "white moulded
cheese" maturity point can be
controlled, keep refrigerated at 6°C to
slow the ripening process, but store at
10-13°C in a pantry to speed the ripening
process. A fully mature white moulded cheese
will be soft to touch and may mottle on the
surface. Any ammonia smell on opening should
disperse. Ripen to your taste preferences
and trim if preferred.
To store, loosely wrap cheese in its
original wrap or grease proof paper, as the
cheese should be allowed to breath.
On waxed cheeses, cove rthe cut face with
grease proof paper and trim any mould that
may form before serving.
Should you use any of the Whitestones
cheeses for cooking, heat slowly to avoid
stringiness. |
