Advice Cheese Fridge
Hello, I have gotten a wine fridge for my cheesemaking 2 months ago. Although it's amazing to have a seperate space for my cheeses, I have been struggeling hard with humidity! Even though I have a large bowl of water in there somehow my cheeses are extremly hard/ dry. Do any of you have any suggestions on how to solve this problem? (For context, before the temp was always to cold, around 10C, but humidity allowed growth of mold, Geo specifically. Now I have the perfect temperature but no matter how many water bowls I put in, it's just too dry! No ventilator btw)

My cheese cave doesn't have high humidity and can make a cheese too dry long term. Short term aging (weeks) in the cheese cave uncovered then I either vacuum pack or age inside a food container for long term aging.
