Cheese
Like other dairy items on this list, cheese is best kept at room temperature rather than in the fridge. This applies specifically to good quality cheese, not the processed varieties like the rubbery cheese sticks often favored by kids! Cheese needs to be kept dry to maintain its texture and flavor, and the cold, moist environment of a fridge can accelerate the rotting process. To keep your cheese at its best, store it in a dry, room temperature environment, away from moisture. Keeping it warm and comfortable will help preserve its taste and prevent it from spoiling too quickly.

Citrus
We know what you’re thinking: orange juice tastes great ice cold and straight from the fridge. However, oranges and other citrus fruits should never be kept in the refrigerator. The reasons for this are similar to tropical fruits. Oranges, like many other citrus fruits, are grown in hot climates, and the warmth of your kitchen actually helps them ripen naturally. Storing them in a fridge can prevent this natural ripening process, leaving them hard, dry, and potentially bitter. To keep them at their best, store them at room temperature in your kitchen where they can continue to ripen and maintain their natural sweetness.
