I've got a problem with cheese. We don't use it quickly enough. I've tried buying it in blocks, grated and in slices but still end up throwing some away because it's gone dry or green!

How do you buy your cheese?

That used to be us but I now buy it in smaller packs so we use it quite quickly. You could grate and freeze what's left then just use it from the freezer on sandwiches,on toast or in dishes it defrosts in very little time when it's grated.

We buy bags of grated cheese and keep in freezer. It defrosts in minutes

My daughter used to work in a cheese shop; she says the secret is to wrap very, very tightly in cling film. It won't dry out and the mould won't grow without oxygen.

Haven't we just had a thread about this or is my memory playing tricks? confused

I used to live in the tropics and in those days cheese was hard to come by. When a ship delivered a supply we would buy as much as was allowed and cut it into blocks, wrap it in cling film and freeze it. It does change the texture and crumbles when cut but is wonderful for cooking. I still do this with cheddar and similar.

Suggestions:

Buy small blocks and give half to a friend.

Give up eating cheese.
