thanks zenith!
i should know by now what the temp is in my basement, but i don't. if it's within the range you say, should i age my ricotta salata there? if not, in the fridge? and, bigger question, in what sort of mechanism/container do i keep it safe from critters in the basement? (not that i've seen any, but then i haven't kept tempting food there, either.)
i'm more than happy with trial and error, i'd just like to do the most right things that i can and learn from those, ya know?
my user name comes from my chasing what's local and in season! big time locavore, i am, and DIY more and more.
