Pecorino cheese should be stored properly to prevent it from drying out or developing mold. Wrap it tightly in cheese paper or parchment paper, then place it in a resealable plastic bag or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator's cheese drawer or a cool area to maintain its flavor and texture. Avoid storing near strong-smelling foods as it can absorb odors. Properly stored, pecorino can last for several weeks.
