how to best store cut cheese?

Answer 1

Store tightly wrapped in the refrigerator.
Ripened cheeses (Parmesan, Cheddar, Swiss, Blue, Brie, etc.) will keep longer than unripened varieties (Cottage, Cream, Fresh Ricotta, etc.).
Cheese may be frozen, but some cheeses will crumble upon thawing.

Answer 2

Vacuum sealing is suppose to help the mold factor... something I'm still testing out. Freezing would definitely stop mold. And, once you see the mold on the top of the cheese the whole block is bad because the filaments (roots) go all through the block unseen. Some cheeses hold up better after frozen for instance mozzarella. Cheddar tends to be somewhat crumbly so unless you are melting it you probably shouldn't buy more than you intend to use at one time.
I've found that most of the pre-shredded cheeses last in the vegetable drawer of the refrigerator for a good two weeks.
I don't know how awful the mold is for the average person, except for the taste, but I know that for someone with an allergy to mold it can be deadly

Answer 3

You can store cut cheese in the refrigerator or in the freezer. If you are not going to use the cheese very quickly, I would store some in the freezer, then thaw it out when it is time to use it. Mold grows a whole heck of a lot slower when cheese is on ice.

Handling Tips
Keep cheese and everything it touches clean, cold and covered.
Because cheese absorbs other flavors, store away from other aromatic foods.
Cheese loses flavor and moisture if exposed to air.
Store cut cheese in the refrigerator, tightly wrapped, from 34-38º F.

Answer 5

in my country we call it a "stolp"..but i am so sorry i dont know the english word for it...,and i tried to convert it into my dictionary,but it seems no english word for that,or its possibly called diffrently.
but i will try to explain how it looks like..
its wooded plate with on top a round glas..,the cheese goes in there,after closing..,.. the inside is airproof,so all the flavors stay inside and no flavors or smells can come in from the outside..
you can put it in your refrigurator or keep it just in the kitchen..that depends on the temperature you should keep your cheese in.

Answer 6

I store mine in ziplock freezer bags, even if it's in the fridge. The fridge cheese is for snacking, and if I don't use it right away, I shred the blocks in my shredder, bag it up, and throw it in the freezer.

I like the ziplocks with the slide.
