betty, if you buy big blocks of cheese you can cut that up into smaller portions and freeze it. it doesn't defrost as good as fresh but at least it won't spoil.

Fruits and vegtables make a gas called ethylene, which causes them to ripen. The bags absorb the gas. There is actually a trick you can do of putting a ripe banana into a paperbag with any other unripe fruit or vegtable and the unripened fruit will ripen quickly.

Long story short: They won't work on cheese, cheese is ripened by microorganisms.
