How Do I Store Feta Cheese In The Fridge For More Than 1 Week?
Filed in Category Feta Cheese
When I buy a chunk of Feta cheese and use only half of it. The rest I wrap up in cling wrap but after a day or two it starts smelling really bad and I have to throw it out. I tried storing it in a container but end up with the same result.

The Greeks store it in a brine solution and actually you should never buy feta unless it’s in liquid .
The proper ratio is a quart of water to 3/4 C of Kosher salt ,Keep the feta submerged and handle with clean utensils
I buy fetta in a 1 kilo tub.. seems to have some sort of juicy cheese liquid already in there… I shall name it Brine (after my brother)…. this seems to work perfectly for retaining the cheese.
I quite like all things to do with cheese… and ham off the bone.
Did you leave it in the wrap? I have kept it a long time in a container but not wrapped. Hope that helps.
Just keep it in the container that the deli gives it to you in, the brine actually has a load of salt in it that preserves the cheese. Great luck!!!
I stored some Feta I had in a container of water and that seemed to work for a few weeks, but after about a month it went off.
