Keep Cheese Fresh Longer

By Erin Huffstetler, About.com

Tired of losing cheese to mold? Then try this:

Wrap your cheese in a paper towel or cloth that has been moistened with vinegar. Then, stick it inside of a plastic bag (or a lidded storage container), and refrigerate.

Remoisten the cloth with vinegar any time it feels dry.

Why This Works:

The acetic acid in the vinegar inhibits the growth of mold.
