How to choose
Choose a cheese with a firm, crumbly texture, pure white color, and no mold spots. The package should be sealed and the production date no older than 2–3 months.
How to store
Keep refrigerated at 2–4 °C, wrapped in parchment paper and then foil. Use within 1–2 weeks after opening; it can be frozen, though the texture will become more crumbly.
