In a perfect world, everyone would live close to a very good cheese shop and daily buy small slivers and delicate chunks of cheese. Unfortunately, not everyone can do that. As such, this chapter will help you keep your cheese alive and fresh, advise you on freezing it, tell you what to do with forgotten cheese, teach you how to tell when cheese goes bad, show you what types of cheese accoutrements are helpful to have on hand, and discuss when and how to slice your cheese.
