I only went for gruyere!

After browsing this sub, I went to one of those stores that sells stuff past its best-by date. They have a pretty varied selection of cheeses, and I now wanted to make gratin dauphinoise with gruyere. But then…I saw juusto, and I had just read about kaffejuusto in a comment here! And that post about rotten raclette was the one that the algorithm put on my feed, and I like pungent cheese.

And then a whole wheel of cheddar!! I had no idea what to expect, but am so pleased. And also: HELP! What do I do with this much of it?! It says not to freeze; I know the texture would change, but would freezing ruin the flavor? Any recipes or ideas would be most welcome indeed. Some's destined for a cheese board.
