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

- Wrapping: It is essential to cover the wedge of semi-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.
