How to preserve the cured wedges?

Here are some tips on how to preserve the cured wedges of El Aljibe cheese:

- Wrapping: It is essential to cover the wedge of cured cheese in kitchen paper or plastic wrap to protect the cheese from air and moisture. By having it covered we will prevent it from being contaminated by other odors in the fridge and from drying out.

- Temperature: To keep the cheese in good condition it is necessary to keep it cool, between a temperature of between 4º and 8º since if we keep it at lower temperatures this can negatively affect the cheese.

- Shelf life: Aged cheese can last a long time in the refrigerator, but keep in mind that over time its flavor will and texture may change. It is advisable to consume it within 2-3 months after purchase to enjoy it in its best state.
