Parmigiano- Reggiano - Preventing drying out when storing

When storing Parmesan cheese, make sure you unwrap and check the stored cheese from time to time. If it has begun to dry, its golden color turning to white, wrap it in cheesecloth that has been moistened with water and wrung out until it is just damp. Wrap foil around the cloth and refrigerate the cheese overnight. The next day, remove foil, discard the cheesecloth, pat the moist surface of the cheese dry with a clean towel, rewrap it in foil and return the cheese to the refrigerator.
