What is your perfect bolognaise sauce. The Marcella Hazan recipe is the best one I've discovered so far, but always open to new ideas.

Off topic a little but just wondering how long folk keep parmesan in the fridge. It usually has a short use by date on the package.

I freeze mine. I grate it from fresh, bag it up and use it straight from the freezer. Works for me.

Try adding a spoonful of branston pickle or other chutney to it and a dash of Worcester sauce. Works well

A block, well wrapped, should keep fairly well but, yes, it should freeze.

I have known the tubs of ready grated stuff go mouldy before the use by date! In fact, I'm not even sure if you can still buy it.

You can still buy tubs Callistemon. I used to buy parmesan and keep it til it looked unedible. But I've noticed recently it says use within one week on the package. I would never use a block wirhin a week.
