Dairy items should be kept in the refrigerator, though cheeses benefit from a little extra TLC. Place soft ones, like mozzarella, in an airtight container once open. Wrap semi hard and hard cheeses, once open, in wax or parchment paper, then stow in a re-sealable plastic bag. (If you're freezing, replace the paper with plastic wrap.)
Good news for those who like to stock up on milk and yogurt when they're on sale: Both can be frozen. Just transfer them into freezer containers or freezer proof glass jars, leaving 1 inch of space at the top to allow for expansion; once thawed, mix to redistribute the solids.
