How to keep the rest
After opening, reseal the package tightly to prevent the cheese from drying out. Store in the refrigerator. It is best to use the remaining cheese within a few days of opening to maintain its freshness and flavor. Proper storage ensures the cheese remains pliable and ready for use.
