Oh that makes sense: In one case, it's a light sugar preserves,
the other, a light pickling. But it's SUCH a tiny amount of
preserves or pickling effects that you won't even notice a taste
difference. It's more like a lightweight shield against mold. I
like it. "Cheese Storage: To avoid mold, store cheese in an
airtight container with several sugar lumps. Another way is to
moisten a paper towel lightly with vinegar and store that with
the cheese. Don't be too generous with the vinegar, or it will
affect the taste of the cheese. If you're not going to use it
right away, store your cheese in the freezer. Soft cheeses like
Brie and Camembert stay usable for up to one year if frozen.
Hard cheese will last twice that long if tightly wrapped before
freezing."
