New products come across my desk quite frequently, but only rarely does one stop me in my tracks and make me want to test it right away. Please welcome one of my new favorite products, Formaticum Cheese Paper. The perks of my job have allowed me to try some of the country's best cheeses, and even take them home. I had, up until this point always wrapped the unused portions of my cheese in wax paper. Little did I know that I was harming my cheese.
We all eat with our eyes and accordingly, cheese is best sold when the customer can see what they are buying, i.e.: plastic wrap. Yet, when the cheese in wrapped in plastic wrap, it suffocates and becomes laden with ammonia and is no longer palatable. A common problem with wax paper is that the cheese dries out to fast; wax paper is not easy to seal and is often exposed to too much air.
