Cheese comes in many forms ranging from soft to hard.
Recommendations for storage and handling of cheese will depend on the type of cheese. The following list will help identify the type of cheese to know how it should best be handled. Cheese should be refrigerated at temperatures of 35 to 40 F in the original wrapping until ready to use. Store cheese out of the airflow in the cooler so it doesn't pick up off-flavors common in all refrigerators. If the original wrap is removed, rewrap cheese tightly with plastic film wrap or foil to prevent air pockets.
