How/where (obviously in fridge) and in what should I keep my 1 kg block of cheese? We're either not eating it fast enough or I'm not storing it properly. Thanks.

In a plastic container with a sugar cube. For some reason the bacteria go for the sugar before the cheese ! !

cokibear, alternatively to #2, freeze some or all of the 1Kg block of cheese - IMO it's best to grate the cheese before freezing it as it tends to be crumbly after being frozen and the grated cheese is sooo convenient - just use it directly from the freezer in sauces, on pizza, etc. or wherever you require grated cheese. :-))

I keep mine in a resealable (airtight) bag in the fridge. I have never had a problem with it going mouldy.

I wrap mine in a linen teatowel and then put it in a plastic bag and it keeps well.

I store mine in a calico bag made just for the purpose. I have made some for sale with a picture of a piece of cheese we made from a computer stencil. It does the job very well at keeping the cheese.

I preslice it then pop it in a Tupperware Clearmate... Not only does it last really well but its super easy and fast when making lunches in the morning... No waste either as Hubby cant slice a HUGE chunk to nibble on...

We do the same as number 3's post.
Especially loving the Mainland extra vintage tasty cheese lately - that's been left for 12 months - as written on the front of the pack. It tastes amazingly good.
