"Can I do anything to help my cheese last longer?", you may ask. Well, there is something that you can do to help increase your cheese's life by over three months. Freezing hard cheeses is a great way to store cheese so that its shelf life is increased by a matter of months! However, soft cheeses don't take well to this method, so you're better off buying them when and if you are going to use them rather than in preparation for a day that is a ways off in the future.
Freezing cheese completely stops the molding process until you bring it back to room temperature. However, it does not get rid of any mold that may already be present on the cheese at the time of freezing. Freezing cheese is also a great way to save the money that you have surely invested in food products. If you've just spent one hundred dollars for food for the week, would you want to throw it away just because you couldn't eat it all? No, you wouldn't, and the same fact applies to cheese, as well. Freezing cheese is a great way to make sure that the food you buy lasts and keeps longer.
