I need to improve my cheese storage and thus life

I have teenagers, I am winging it through life as a single parent and trying not to feel like I’m living in a student house where each person does their own thing. Anyway we get through a lot of cheese, I am bored of finding it not properly cling filmed, and bored of DD using tin foil which sets my teeth on edge.

I feel like if I got a THING from Lakeland/Joseph Joseph/John Lewis it would be a more civilised family home and our cheese would also be better.

Could someone better at this than me please tell me if you have a cheese box and does it work well?

I recently bought this and love it, after years of being irritated by DH not wrapping cheese back in its packet properly. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000MWWTSW?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

The lid is a good airtight fit but is easy to pull off and the shape and size is perfect for easily taking out of the fridge with one hand. I also ordered the slightly bigger one they do that has a built in board but the lid of that one didn’t fit as well and it was a bit big and awkward to get out of the fridge so I sent it back.

This one is perfect, everyone uses it without complaining, and I have now crossed cheese off the very long list of things that annoy me. I have a good collection of Tupperware but this is better. It’s not huge but fits 2-3 medium or small blocks of cheese and probably only one really big one.

Tell me if you put all your cheese in one of these boxes, does it not go hard / discolour at the edges?

We leave it in the packets inside the box. It’s much better than in the packet with ripped or untucked bits gradually drying out somewhere in the fridge.
