How to:

Store cheese

Store cheese in your refrigerator, which approximates the temperature of aging rooms. Keep it wrapped tightly in plastic, away from air (which helps mold grow on cheese).

If you get a little mould on the outside, just cut it off. The English say that if mould won't eat your Cheddar it can't taste very good!

Most ripened or aged cheese is low in moisture content and can be frozen without drastic flavour and texture changes. Thaw slowly in the refrigerator for 24 hours or more.

If frozen for several months, the cheese may dry out somewhat and become crumbly when thawed.

Recipe by: Maranda Engelbrecht
Serves: 4 – 6
Prep time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
150 g Bresse Bleu cheese
4-6 fresh figs, peeled
Olive oil
Freshly cracked black pepper
Fresh pomegranate seeds
Cooking instructions:

Use a sharp knife and slice cheese thinly. Wipe the knife blade clean after every slice to prevent the cheese sticking to the blade. Slice the figs in the same way.

Arrange alternate cheese and fig layers on plate and drizzle with a little olive oil. Season with pepper and garnish with pomegranate seeds.

Serve as a starter or as a cheese course.
