Have never heard of doing this. Always just threw a package of cheese in the freezer.

OOOO! I think I'd like to try that sometime!! Might be a fun way to present a cheese gift during the holidays, too! I LOVE to get a round of guoda with the red wax coating. I bet the cheddar will be great that way. Do you store in the fridge after it is all dry? How long will it keep?
