how to stop cheese from going moldy in the fridge after opening shrink-wrapped package?

Answer 1

I buy the large size cheese when it goes in sale. Within a week, it will start to grow mold. Yes, use a zip baggie, but better yet, cut the cheese into portion size chunks and use a sandwich baggie to wrap the unused portions. Place these in a Freezer Baggie. Try to get out as much air as possible. Freeze. Cheese will keep for about three months. Take one out and leave on counter to unthaw for about 15 minutes before you use it. Hope this ends the moldy cheese.

Answer 2

Whenever I buy bulk cheese, I shread 1/2 - 2/3 and place in zip lock bags and freeze. The remainder I place in another zip lock and keep in fridge. If a small amout of mold get on that one (which usually does not happen, because I use it quickly), simply cut off the mold and use the rest of the cheese. It will not hurt you.
