You want the paper towel damp, not dripping.

Wrap the cheese in the paper towel, then tightly wrap plastic wrap around that.

It really works, but the flavor doesn't come back 100%, flavor only comes back about 75%. The texture can be brought back just like before though.

It will take several days to work its magic.
