how to store cheese properly?

Question

whenever i open a pack of new cheese, and use it, how can i store it back properly. can i put it in a container or how? coz in my fridge, after a while, it smells odd.

Answer 1

Storing cheese: Firm, semifirm and semisoft cheese should be wrapped airtight in a plastic bag and stored in a refrigerator's warmest location for up to several weeks. Fresh and soft-ripened cheeses should be tightly wrapped and stored in the refrigerators coldest part for no more than 2 weeks. If mold appears on firm, semifirm or semisoft cheese, cut off the offending portion. Moldy fresh or soft-ripened cheese, however, should be thrown out.

Answer 2

After you open cheese put it back in the fridge in an air tight bag.The good think about cheese is if you see mold growing on it you just cut that bit off and still use the rest.
