Goats Cheese
Fresh artisan goat cheeses are not usually aged, so they are generally fresh and creamy looking with a fairly mild, salty flavour. To store, you need to protect the cheese from air with the original wrappings, plastic wrap, or wax paper. Remove from refrigerator one hour before serving. Discard any cheese that develops an off-odour, strange colours, or more than a touch of mould.
For longer storage, freeze your goat cheese. The cheese can be frozen in small packages (in quantities of one pound [½kg] or less). As long as the cheese is in good condition and tightly wrapped, its flavour, texture, and moisture content should remain unchanged. Thaw goat cheese slowly. Leave it undisturbed in the refrigerator for a period of 24 to 48 hours.
Whatever you do, let the cheese warm to at least room temperature before serving to maximize the flavour.
