Storing shop bought chorizo

Hi all, I don't generally eat much chorizo and am not confident enough to make my own so I buy small amounts to cook with. For today's recipe I only need 75g but the smallest piece I could get was 225g. So my question is about storage, I expect to to finish the last 150g within a couple of weeks so can I store the remaining piece in the fridge wrapped in greaseproof paper or should I vac pack it? I know it may dry out if not vac packed but would that be a bad thing?

Thanks
Steve

I vac pack and have tried gp paper.
Vac pac lasts a lot longer

or make a chorizzo potato and onion omelette and you will start buying more and probably start making your own ,its that excellent

Thanks snags............
Doesn't matter now, had a couple of beers last night and ended finishing the lot. I'm not sure it was a good idea to join the forum after all, I think my waist line's gonna suffer :lol:
