White cheddar should be stored in the refrigerator to maintain its freshness and prevent spoilage. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or beeswax wrap, or place it in an airtight container. For optimal flavor, consume it within 1-2 weeks of opening. Harder white cheddar varieties can last longer than softer ones. Avoid storing it near strong-smelling foods as it can absorb odors. Freezing white cheddar is not recommended, as it can alter the texture and make it crumbly.
