Large Vacuum Seal Bags

These are the bags I use for sealing and aging large wheels of cheese. Even though these are large, most of my wheels are still too big to fit so I cut the wheel in half, slide in one half and then the other, with the cut edges pressed together. The pressure from the vacuum seal often adheres the pieces together, and the little bit of exposed cheese that sticks out at either end is none the worse for wear. If sealing a cheese that will expand, like a Jarlsberg, or one that will be aged for a long period of time, I often double seal the ends.
