Is there any chance of getting mold growth or slimy rind on vacuum sealed cheeses? If the cheese has air dried sufficiently, then I assume there should be no problems with excess moisture in the sealed package?

I wipe mine down with brine and a little bit of vinegar, then dry with a paper towel just before bagging.

I age most of my hard cheese in the cave for 2 to 4 weeks before sealing unless it's like a gouda, havarti or edam that a moisiter cheese. I've never had one mold but if it does the bag is clear, you would see it.  Just open it clean it dr it and reseal.

Thanks for the link Deb!

Just ordered a roll.

Will see what it's like and then ask him what the full case discount price is. 


Sure is a lot cheaper then my local stores or the foodsaver website!

I hope to be commercial next year. Plus we freeze (and can) a lot of vegetables and meat.

I'm sure I've used at least 150 feet this year and that is all personal (family) use.

If you go commercial, you need to use NSF certified equipment (stainless). There are roll vacuum machines out there for commercial use, but most of them work with pouches. Vacmaster has a new machine out that's supposed to be good, but it's pricey.

Just found the 11 inch Foodsavers on sale in Wisconsin at a store called Shopko for only $69. I bought another one. I paid twice that for an 8 inch several years ago and I can't even remember what the 11 inch was but I know it was over $200 at that price I grabbed it!
