“I don’t know why but I saw it on the internet and so this is what I’m doing now,” she said, captioning the clip: “Is this everyone , or just me?”
But, according to the comments, it’s a divisive subject, since one of them said: “No. then the cheese will taste like Ziploc.
And others were quick to come up with their own solutions.
“I put it in a paper towel then in a glass container,” one TikToker wrote.
“If you wrap it in a paper towel then in foil and put it in a Pyrex bowl it lasts a lot longer!!'” claimed a second.
“We always just covered the exposed end and it lasts really well,” another agreed.
“Yeah, but I thought you were supposed to wrap it in something like parchment paper,” one user argued.

The one thing everyone agrees on is that all cheese should be stored in the refrigerator, at around 35 degrees.
According to the online cooking magazine, EpicureanThere is a right way to store cheese – but it may depend on the type of cheese.
Erika Kubick, a former cheese maker, told the publication that balancing humidity is the hardest part of preserving cheese, because too little humidity will cause it to dry out and too much will cause it to deteriorate.
However, he says don’t wrap your leftover cheese in plastic wrap.
“It traps moisture, which can encourage mold to grow,” Kubick explained.
Instead, the expert says using a glass container with a vent to let the cheese breathe is a good option.
Martha Stewart also suggests leaving the plastic wrap for other foods.
“The best way to wrap cheese is with cheese paper, a special type of thick paper coated on one side with a combination of wax and polyethylene,” she explained.
“You can buy cheese paper online and in specialty food and cheese stores.
She added: ‘If you can’t find it, baking paper – a lighter paper coated on one side with silicone which is often used in baking – is a very good product and much cheaper.’
