When I was married, we would have fondue once or twice a month. One of the habits was to always start it with 2-3oz of Gruyere. It wasn't always available at the markets, so we'd buy the typical ~ .1/2lb block, third it, saran wrapping each of the two unused portions, plastic bagging them, and into the freezer.

But don’t forget about your cheese...
Yeah this is not usually a problem even with my memory problems.
Right now I do have three cheeses that are out of date but haven’t made myself throw away yet. One is an Irish cheddar cheese that is in the fridge that loves to freeze everything so could be okay still even if not the best texture. Can’t tell until I open the package. This one could be closer to two years out of date.
I have a Collier’s Powerful Welsh Cheddar with a date of May 9 2013. Yes that is the name on the package and is from Wales.
Then there is the Cheddar with Chocolate with June 26 2013 date. I had bought two of these and that one was really sharp when it was in date I can only imagine what this one will be like. Clear package and I see no signs of mold and still tight vac seal. From the UK.
All bought at Aldi’s for probably $3.99 or less.
I like their smoked Gouda which is $2.99. That is about as fancy I get with cheese.
I don’t know what the big deal is, I just leave it in the spray can in came in.
I’ve been wrapping it in aluminum foil after opening the plastic wrap it came in. Has worked pretty well.
