Title: Wrapping in parchment paper leads to wet rind?

I decided to try wrapping my aged chevre (inoculated with PC) with parchment paper after they had a nice bloom. A week later and the rind is really moist compared to the unwrapped ones. Is this normal? They're in a mini fridge at 55F at about 85%RH.

Yeah its possible for moisture to be trapped if the paper is not porous enough,
You should get some spacial perf paper for bloomy cheese if you like wrapping.
