How to keep the rest
Keep any remaining cheese cubes refrigerated. Ensure the package is tightly sealed to prevent the cheese from drying out. Storing them in their original packaging or an airtight container will help maintain their freshness and prevent them from absorbing odors from other foods in the refrigerator.
