Pecorino cheese should be stored properly to prevent it from drying out and losing its flavor. Wrap it tightly in parchment paper or cheese paper, and then place it in a resealable plastic bag or container. Store in the cheese drawer or the warmest part of your refrigerator to prevent it from becoming too cold. A wedge of Pecorino can last for several weeks when stored this way. Avoid freezing, as it can alter the texture.
