15/06/09 - STILTON FREEZES WASTE FOOD!

Food lovers despise wasted food at the best of times and in this current economic climate there’s no excuse for throwing away leftover food.

The SCMA has been vocal in its support of the http://www.lovefoodhatewaste.com/ campaign in the past and we encourage consumers to do their bit.

With stats showing that 1/3 of bought food is thrown away, it’s easy to see the massive economic and environmental impact of waste. Any means of cutting this helps everyone.

Luckily for Stilton fans it’s the perfect purchase to avoid waste giving them yet another reason to include a wedge in their weekly shopping basket. Not only is the tasty cheese highly versatile allowing you to simply add it to lots of everyday meals and snacks, but it’s also perfect for freezing meaning you need never throw any away again.

Simply wrap the cheese in cling film or kitchen foil and freeze for up to three months. When you want to use the cheese, defrost it slowly overnight in your fridge.

To maximise the flavour of your cheese, don’t forget to allow it to get to room temperature before serving.

We’d love to know your favourite recipes and uses for your leftovers so please comment and tell us.
