    Cheese pleeeze. Although be warned it does go mouldy once opened.
    No man is worth crawling on this earth.

    So much to read, so little time.

    Yes we found that as well, must be used within 3 days.
    Better off with the Simple grated from Lidl.

    The coffee beans are a true bargain.  If you grind your own or have a bean-to-cup machine, fill your freezer!!

    I don't think they are included in the Lidl weekend offers for 30 April to 2 May where I live.

    (There's a separate thread for good and bad buys from Lidl (and Aldi)).

    Not for me.  Got some in my fridge I opened a few weeks ago when it was last on offer.  The cheese is dated 11/04 and can't see any mould.  I do keep it the crisper drawers at the bottom of the fridge

    Is it feasible to freeze some of the grated cheese?

    I don't find it goes mouldy, but towards the end of the pack it has definitely dried out.

    Yes the cheese will freeze and still be OK to eat and I have done that in the past, the hard part for me is remembering to take some of the frozen cheese out early enough to use it when I want to use it.

    Frozen grated cheese is good for jacket potatoes, topping of cottage/shepherd's pie, lasagne, pasta bakes etc - anything hot. Not so good for salads, sandwiches.

    If its being used for melting such as pizza's which I do.  Going dry does not really make that much of a difference.
