How to store cheese

Grate it and tray freeze then bag up - then just shake out when you need it! It's so useful!!!

I got a liitle carried away at my local Asda when I saw Xmas stock of Extra strong cheddar reduced to £2 for a large block. I bought 3, and I live alone...and am trying to lose weight so not eat TOO much cheese.

It'll have been maturing for months, so isn't likely to go bad quickly I'd keep it unopened in the fridge. When you open a block, you could feeze what you're not using, in smaller pieces.

As this has fallen from the front page of OS, I'll add it to the existing thread on storing cheese, to give you more ideas

I had no idea you could freeze cheese! One of my big wastes is buying the bags of grated mozzarella, using it in 1-2 meals then having to throw the rest out because it goes moudly. The idea that I could freeze half the bag is a revelation.
