How long does cheese last in your house?

[Lostinbooksandcoffee]

We love cheese in this house. We got through two-thirds of a block that was collected on the food shop this morning, as well as a mozzarella and some feta. That's for 2 adults, a 3 year old and a one year old. We buy 3-4 blocks a week plus other cheeses for meals or with crackers.

Just wondering how long a block of cheese lasts in your household?

Not v.long. 100g or a kilo I could just eat it. Unfortunately I love artisan cheese so when it's £3+ for 100g it gets expensive. I love a good cheese shop. In another life I once had a day in Paris to get something made(!!) and went to a famous fromagerie opp Notre Dame. It was heaven. My daughter buffs when we go in a cheese shop. It's a drawn out taste fest. But oddly she likes tasting the cheeses. Other cheese e.g. feta goes in a salad but then a goats cheese and mushroom tart is a mighty thing

About 1 kg a week, two adults two teens: sometimes a couple of little different ones as well. More at Christmas, obviously . I could never be a vegan.

not long enough at all. even the dog is obsessed with it

I but three blocks a week, mostly eaten by19yo DS on pizza or as cheese on toast

We go through around 2 big blocks and about 4 bags of grated. There are 8 of us though and sometimes it can be more. If we get vintage cheese it goes in one sitting.

We go through 3 blocks of cheese each week. Our calcium kid happily chomps on a block like it's a slice of cake 😂 she has cheese for breakfast, cheese sandwich for lunch, cheese as a snack and cheese with her tea. She loves her calcium.

Wow, shocked at how fast the cheese goes in some of your houses! We get through about 350g a week, sometimes a little more but never more than the big packs (550g) 2 adults and 2 pre teens.

Some weeks we go through 3/4 blocks. Sometimes we don't eat it for weeks at a time!

How big is your block? That could be loads or not that much

My husband used to work with a bloke who also worked at Arla. Every now and then he's come home with a giant catering block of Lockerbie cheddar. 5kg of delicious mature cheddar. The whole lot would be gone in less than a week. Kids are 13,10 and 8 and love cheddar as much as DH and I. Despite being able to wolf a 5kg block of cheddar, things like blue cheeses, Brie, Goats cheese, Halloumi and feta wouldn't be touched at all.

About 7 minutes. HTH

Doesn't last long at all and it's me that eats most of it If I had to choose one food to live on forever it would be cheese (as long as that covered all varieties so I didn't just end up with Cheddar )

2 adults. 2 toddlers. Usually but a block of cheddar (350g) a week. Sometimes get a block of feta or some blue cheese as well.

4 weeks?

In my fridge I currently have, Stilton, Gorgonzola, Port Salou, Feta, Mozzarella, Cheddar, Red Leicester and marmite minis. The only one not open is the Stilton as the Gorgonzola is open
I go to a cheese festival every year.
It’s all about the cheese—and wine—

Oh dear not long! Two big blocks a week plus feta and halloumi 😂😂😂

Longdistance, I want to come to your house for a cheese party!

It depends, in last weeks shop I bought feta, a mix of 5 grated cheese, and some cheese slices with onions in them and haven't touched them. Other times I will go through a macaroni cheese phase and eat tonnes of the stuff.

I'm so glad it's not just us! My friend is vegetarian (I'm nearly there) and was surprised as she doesn't go through that much.

I was going to say 'a lot', but we can't compete with you.

A lot longer than you guys! 350g block will last us 3-4 weeks. Only ever add a little to what ever meal we're having that needs it. Don't ever really sit and eat it on its own.

We don't eat a lot of cheddar but get through mountains of feta, halloumi, mozzarella, Parmesan, manchego, Perl wen.. cheese monsters all round!

I don't buy it as it would be gone in a flash. I only get if when I need to make school lunches. Dh doesnt eat it.

We go through a big block of vintage cheddar, and a pack of something like sliced gouda or smoked cheese plus a ball of mozzarella as it's DD's favourite. I buy a large bag of grated parmesan about once a fortnight too.

It's only me and 19yo DD that eat cheese here too

What do you ask do with that much cheese, eat it on its own or use it in meals ir something? I get through a small pack a week and that is usually cheese sandwiches, other than that or on top of lasagne or pasta bake, I wouldn't really know what else to do with it!

We eat tons of cheese. Too much really, a 500g block of cheddar goes in a week plus we've always got blue cheese, feta, goats cheese and halloumi in the fridge.
