I use Foodsaver bags to store ALL my cheeses. They last forever.

Know you asked about the FP, but we are addicting to ParmRegg and basically my breakdown is:

• For a teeny amount, microplane
• For topping food on plates or up to about a 5cm x 3cm x 3cm piece a rotating hand grinder.  Even if it is once for cooking a chunk and then table service this is my choice as it goes in the DW.
• For a proverbial buttload, I use the rotating attachment on the kitchenaid mixer (but see they make Parm disks for FP as well)

Yes.  HOWEVER, this PR is in its original unopened packaging from Costco.

It got abandoned n the back of the crisper.

@lindag 

 

interesting situation.

 

Ive forgotten original unopened Jack cheese from Tj's in my refrigerator 

 

for quite some time.  got hard , moldy , was delicious that way 

 

but that's a different type of cheese

 

original packaging might not be air or water tight , thus the cheese 

 

will dry out.

 

very interested if adding moisture to a now sealed dry parmesan or parmesan-ish 

 

cheese softens the ' core ' and possibly the rind.

 

good luck w trying that and please repost back 

 

pics ?  before and after ?

 

thanks

The other solution, of course, is to buy a fresh chunk, and use the old stuff to make a bean soup or something.

Actually, I have a large wedge of PR residing in the fridge for far too long that like to grate up before it becomes concrete.

I'm pretty sure I own the fine disc that @JoNorvelleWalkermentioned upthread.

The consistency I'm after would be like that which @blue_dolphin described as 'feathery'.  I'll see if I can find that grating disc and do a test drive.

 

The disc I mentioned has no holes in it if that helps.

I have that one.

 

It will give you fairly fine powder.

I've got that disc for a couple of sizes of my Japanese made Cuisinart's.
