frozen cheese

you can even freeze soft cheese!
I also agree that its always best to cook frozen cheese, but only cos it can be crumbly after and hard to slice.

A great bargain for the freezer is reduced Parmesan.

I buy lots, grate it in my food processor and you can just take out what you need.

Interesting. Doesn't it tend to stick together into a hard lump?

No, it doesn't.

I grate it on the 'big' slicer so I get pieces that are about 5mm wide and 30mm long rather than the almost-powder like the pre-grated stuff comes.
Same as you'd grate cheddar, I guess.

I put it in a Tupperware (other makes are available ) box and give it a shake before I open it to take out what I need.
I tried this years ago when I bought a lot of parmesan reduced to a silly price.
