Now that many commercial cheese companies are selling high quality vacuum-packed cheese straight from the press, vacuum packaging seems to be more readily accepted as a modern, safe and easy way to ripen and store cheese.

Contrary to popular belief, cheese does not need to be refrigerated to extend its shelf life. You can certainly refrigerate various hard cheeses to between 35 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit if you want to greatly extend their shelf life and preserve their texture and flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Vacuum Seal Cheese | Why You Should Be Vacuum Sealing Your Cheeses For Aging!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ootvwA_--qc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>Learn how to vacuum seal cheese<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As a long-term option, with the exception of Parmesan blocks, you can freeze your hard cheese for several months, preserving its flavor if you use an oxygen-free freezer safe container.
