Title: When do you wrap cheese?
Post by: squeekycurds on March 21, 2011, 04:20:50 AM
Hi , I haven't been able to find guidelines for wrapping cheese. When do you wrap brie/camembert in paper? What does the mold look like before wrapping? What differences are there between cheeses that are ripened wrapped or unwrapped? Thanks, Squeeky

You can wrap it once its completly covered in mold,
This allows you to minimize moisture lost (good idea if your moving it to a normal fridge to age slower at 4c) while still allowing the cheese to breath.

If your not wrapping, it means that you will have to maintain high humidity through out the aging period untill you eat it.
