What's happened to Parmesan cheese lately?I now can only find it in bags, but it requires refrigeration and does not last very long. Last week I had to pick mouldy bits out of my spaghetti.

Yeah. I was referring to the grated stuff that used to come in a small plastic pot. Oddly these used to say 'Do not refrigerate'.Floss said:

Buy a chunk from Aldi, get some small plastic pots, grate it yourself and keep in the freezer, just use what you need and put the rest back.If you go down to the woods today you better not go alone.13

Thank you. You've reminded me I need to add parmesan to my shop. I asked a neighbour to grab me some from A on Wednesday night, but they were all out.
I don't eat the stuff, but DH and DD like a bit on their spag bol. I personally think it smells like stinky feet! 🤢😂February wins: Theatre tickets6 -
The dried stuff certainly does, but proper Parmesan or Pecorino is a wonderful thing!euronorris said:Thank you. You've reminded me I need to add parmesan to my shop. I asked a neighbour to grab me some from A on Wednesday night, but they were all out.
