Can you freeze cheese and for how long?

Answer 1

you can freeze cheese I think up to 6months

Answer 2

Hard or semi-hard cheese can be frozen if cut in 1/2 to 1-pound blocks. Wrap in plastic wrap and then put in freezer bags. After freezing, cheese may become crumbly and mealy, but, it will retain its flavor. It works best for cooking.

Plan to use frozen cheese within 4 to 6 months. Thaw cheese in the refrigerator. Use soon after thawing.

The cheeses that freeze best are brick, Camembert, cheddar, Edam, mozzerella, muenster, Parmesan, provolone, Romano and Swiss. Blue cheeses are more prone to becoming crumbly but they'll still taste good. Cream cheese and cottage cheese do not freeze well.

Answer 3

you can freeze cheese, but it wil chance the consistancy, when you thaw it to use it will crumble. I have frozen some cheddar and kept it wrapped in plastic wrap and aluminum foilf for about 3 months. I was using it in a soup later on, so it didn't matter.

Answer 4

I personaly have kept a block of cheese frozen for over 12 months and it was just fine. I left it in it's original wrapper plus I wrapped it with cling wrap and foil tightly.

Answer 5
