Title: Temporary vac pack
Post by: TailPipe on July 14, 2018, 03:22:21 PM
Has anyone tried temporarily vac packing a cheese for a couple weeks during aging?  i am going away for a couple weeks and am concerned about runaway mold on Gruyere. It is about six weeks old. But I need to wash fairly frequently to control rind mold. I was thinking of vac packing and then taking it off again when I'm back

Any experience with this or feedback?

Thanks

Sounds like solid plan to me

No problem there. 
I pack, split and repack regularly without drama.
