Dry Jack cheese should be stored properly to maintain its quality. Wrap the cheese tightly in cheese paper or parchment paper, then place it in a resealable plastic bag or container. Store it in the refrigerator's cheese drawer or the coldest part of your fridge, typically around 35-45°F (2-7°C). Properly stored, Dry Jack can last for several weeks. Check for any signs of mold or off-odors before use.
