Gruyere cheese should be stored properly to maintain its flavor and prevent it from drying out. Wrap the cheese tightly in wax paper or cheese paper, then place it in a resealable plastic bag or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator's cheese drawer or the warmest part of the refrigerator to prevent it from becoming too cold and losing flavor. Avoid storing it near strong-smelling foods, as cheese can absorb odors. Properly stored, a block of Gruyere can last for several weeks in the refrigerator.
