I vacuum seal it in my Foodsaver, stays fresh for months.

When I cut up a large block or 5# log, I'll cut it in usable portions, wrap the portions in parchment paper, vaccum seal them, and put what I won't use quickly in the feeezer.  Blocks and slices in use get wrapped in parchment and then in a freezer ziploc baggie.  Shredded goes in a large mason jar or glass food storage bowl like Pyrex or Anchor Hocking.

I usually end up freezing most of my cheese because it goes bad before I can use it all.  I've wasted so much.  It doesn't changed the flavor but does change the texture, which is OK if you're cooking with it.

LocknLock they're airtight and the cheese keeps for a long time.

And in the freezer for up to 1 year if vaccuumed sealed.

Left overs I wrap in aluminum foil.  Cheese stays fresh for weeks in the fridg!

I only eat pepper jack cheese because its spicy w/a little kick to it.

I do the same thing.  I've had my Foodsaver for years.  I put all my meat and the cheese after I use it in a Foodsave bag.  I have no problems with cheese going bad.

I was told wax  paper which worked but couldn't keep it very long .

now I use the best plastic wrap I ever used and I buy it at Walmart of all places.  So easy to use , it's what chefs kitchens use   Sticks  fantastic and doesn't do all that tangling g up thing that Saran Wrap always did,   Keeps cheese perfectly as it sticks on itself very well

What is the name of the plastic wrap you use?

[Still Raining]

I have some silicone, dishwasher safe, ziplock type, envelopes with wide bottoms (so they stand erect).  I can verify they are leak and air tight 😬

They do cost, but worth every penny.

Hard to describe, but you can search for sizes.

We use up any cheese before it can go bad. But use a baggie for block cheese and a small green box for shredded parm. Very rarely I have to throw it out.
