As it is also a natural product, cheese also ripens after purchasing. Therefore correct storage is crucial for the cheese quality and the aroma.

The shelf-life of a cheese varies according to the variety. Soft cream cheese, for example, stays fresh only for a few days, cut cheese and hard cheese longer. Generally, the shelf-life of cheese depends upon the water content. The lower the proportion of water, the longer the shelf-life.

Chambrair climate cabinets store the cheese at the correct temperature, which is important for the life-span and the taste. The cheese should be taken out from the climate control cabinet at least one hour before serving, to allow its aroma to fully unfold.

Besides the optimal temperature, the correct humidity level is also an important factor in the storage of cheese. If the latter is too high, the ripening process is accelerated and undesired mould can appear on the cheese. If it is too low, the cheese dries out.

Good aeration in the Chambrair climate control cabinet prevents the transference of aroma across the various cheese sorts.
