Aging Pressed Cheeses - In Cold Kitchen Fridge?
« on: April 11, 2010, 10:49:04 AM »
I have a few wheels of Monteray Jack and colby that are at the 4 week mark. My question is do I keep them in the same environment as for the first 4 weeks or can they be placed in a regular fridge. Space is getting tight.

I don't have a cheese cave that I can regulate the temperature in, just a cabinet in the basement that works fine for about six months of the year as our basement is quite cool.  Over the summer, though, I have to put my cheeses in the fridge.

It slows down the ageing process, but that works out okay for me, too.  I'm interested to see what the more expert-ly members have to say.
