Depending on the type of hard cheese, freezing may be a viable possibility. I've successfully frozen cheddar, mozzarella, and Swiss cheese and used them for cooking later with no noticeable detriment to flavor or texture. I'm not sure they would hold up to straight munching though, and my one experiment at freezing Brie was a disaster.
