CTO Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Fridge - have frozen some cheese successfully. I also had a tip years ago that exposed parts to the air even in the fridge smear with butter - stops the drying out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Hi, Frozen? Never thought of sticking it in the freezer. Not heard about the butter trick either. Usually none of this is a problem though as the cheese doesn't last long after getting opened. This time though the problem started well before opening the pack. Oh well, leaving for another cheese run in a few weeks Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentors Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Cheese should be in Vacuum or stored in a cool dry place. Not easy to find in Thailand. I store my Swiss hard cheese, vacuum closed, in the fridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyinEwa/Perv Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Much easier solution........since it sounds like it's too much for you to eat all at once.......Invite a few people over with a couple bottles of great wine (Diet Coke for you) and problem solved. Next batch make sure it's stored correctly. I volunteer to bring the first bottle.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunsanuk Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Hi, I am actually considering bringing some special cheeses this next trip. Stuff like cheese with pesto, cheese with garlic, cheese with ... And yes, I'll make damn sure it is all vacuum sealed next time. This batch was mailed to me by my Mom and I guess she forgot about the vacuum sealing. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickfarang Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Similar to zzzz's comment, prior to gong through the annual Cheddar shortage here in Udon (usually in the Jan, Feb, Mar time frame) I will load up on a couple of Kg and keep them in the freezing compartment of the refrigerator. The cheese stops aging and things stop growing on it, but it becomes more "crumbly", which actually makes it very good for lettuce salads. Just make sure you thaw it in the refrigerator rather than on the countertop, otherwise the growth might resume at a rather high rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
