food now has region lock 🥀🥀

H U M I D I T Y

I was profoundly skeptical when someone in my household brought home some "Cheese Storage Bags" that appeared to be made of wax paper. They cost around a dollar apiece, and since there's really no way to clean them, they're pretty much disposable. Insane scam, I thought. Someone just loves shopping, I thought.

But no, they absolutely worked, hard cheeses keep in the deli drawer way better in those bags. In the past I had tried wrapping cheese in wax paper or parchment paper, with little success. The stupid cheese bags were so much better. I can't explain. Still mad about it. Also we need more cheese bags.

A lot of food tastes the best a short time before it spoils.

Fresh beef tastes good. One day old beef tastes like chewing on a rubber piece. Stored at the right temperature in a low moisture atmosphere for 4 weeks it turns into exclusive dry aged beef. One more week and it's spoiled.

Like Himalayan salt. Hundreds of thousands of years old, shelf life of 2 years...

classic french shenanigans

Its just sparkling mold.

Not the correct sort of fridge??

Ah, smeg

Where can we buy fridges from the right region of France to have our cheese keep longer?

If it's really dry cheese it might not like being in a refrigerator for long stretches of time. Can work with a hermetic container though.

the cheese you get at the supermarket is not exactly cheese
