Vacuum Sealed Cheddar Cheese by Suzanne

Back in May, I vacuum sealed an 8 0z block of cheddar cheese.  I placed it on a shelf in the pantry and checked on how it looked whenever I thought about it.

The only thing I noticed was that a small amount of oil leeched out of the cheese.  It didn't leak out of the Food Saver bag.

A couple of nights ago, I got really hungry for some cheddar and all I had was the sealed package in the pantry.

I opened the bag, smelled it, and cut off a piece and put the remainder in the fridge.

I tasted totally wonderful.  And... I'm still alive.

I'm not suggesting that you do this, I'm simply telling you what I did.

I have heard cheese will last for years this way.

It will continue to age while in storage so I started with mild cheddar.

I love my cheese.
