    the individually wrapped ones are an ecological nightmare.

    But you also have to buy according to your usage pattern. I very rarely use these cheese slices. And the only alternative to the individually wrapped ones here is a pack of ~12. They usually go bad in my fridge before I could use more than 3-4 slices. The individually wrapped ones hold up much longer.

      Cheese freezes pretty well, depending on how you intend to use it later (most cheese get a little dry/crumbly).

      They must be defrosted gently, unless you intend it to be melted.

        That’s good to know. Since I buy this type of cheese for it’s melting properties, that won’t be an issue.

        Thanks for that information
