Fresh Cheeses
All fresh goat cheese should be kept as cold as possible without freezing (33°–35°F). To open the cheeses wrapped in cryovac, simply cut around the edge with kitchen shears and lift off the top and bottom of the package. If you have a bit left, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and place in the coldest part of your refrigerator.
 
Bring the portion you plan to serve to room temperature to enjoy the depth of flavor.
Ripened Cheeses
To maintain original condition: keep cheese cold (33°–35°F) and wrapped in waxed paper. Never use plastic wrap – ripened cheeses need to breathe.
 
To speed ripening: place in a warmer part of refrigerator and increase humidity.
 
To serve: Remove from the refrigerator only the portion you plan to serve, and bring to room temperature. Rewrap in waxed paper.
Firm Cheeses
To maintain original condition after cutting: keep cheese cold (33°–35°F) and wrapped tightly in plastic wrap to prevent drying.
 
Serve at room temperature, removing only what you plan to serve from the refrigerator.
Creamline Cheeses
