I just set out a Baby Swiss for ripening and I can't seem to find whether it should be in a ripening box or not.  Our house is heated by a wood stove and is on the dry side of things.  Last night I placed the cheese  in a box and the RH climbed to 90+.  Help........

Yes, especially with a wood stove, use the box. If the rind dries out it will crack and quickly lose gas.

Oh yeah! I have that problem too. Cheese dry up over night here! I have often thought I could just leave cheddar curds out for a few days and run them through a blender to add to my popcorn. 

Thanks Sailor and DJ.  In the box it goes.
