How Long Can You Keep Babybel Cheese in the Fridge
Assuming you are referring to the individually wrapped Babybel cheese rounds:
Most packaging will have a “best by” date, but that is more of a guideline than a rule. Hard cheeses can last quite awhile in the fridge – up to several months.
The key is to make sure they are well wrapped so they don’t dry out.
To maximize freshness, it’s best to keep unwrapped cheese in a special cheese paper or wax paper, and then store in the main compartment of the fridge (as opposed to the door). If your fridge has a humidity-controlled drawer, even better!
If you’re not sure if your cheese has gone bad, give it a sniff test. If it smells sour or off in any way, it’s time to say goodbye.
