Cheese is great added to your favorite sandwich or sprinkled on top of a delicious pasta. But if not stored properly, over time, your cheese can lose its freshness. However, there’s a way to combat its deterioration and make it last.
Over on social media, Julianne Taylor shared her way of preserving her cheese for quite a bit so you don’t have to chuck yours in the bin before it's time.
Taking to TikTok, she said: “Do not avoid buying those big blocks of cheese for fear of it going bad.
“You could save a lot of money by buying cheese in bulk.
“I cut off the edge of the packaging to create a little hat. I slice off some cheese and the end goes right back on to keep the block from going bad,” she finished off.

To which the content creator responded: “I’ve tried ziplock bags and they don’t allow the cheese to “breath”. It always go bad. This tip works for me every time.”
