freezeing soft cheese?

Question

can you freeze something you made with soft cheese before cooking it? gonna make fried tortillas with filling containing soft cheese. can i freeze them and fry them later or will the cheese go bad, curdle or something?

Answer 1

Freezing from MY experience has changed the texture slightly but the flavor has always remained the same.

The texture get lumpy or curdle, as you put it. This does not bother me and I continue to buy soft cheeses on sale and freeze them all the time, before and after cooking with them.

This guy above, copied from the same site I did and said that he is a chef. He might be, but this answer is not his. Actually I think this answer is not what u are looking for, but it can help.

The delicate texture of soft cheeses with bloomy rinds may be altered by freezing, but the taste will remain intact. You might want to use leftover pieces of Brie or Camembert in a soup or a salad! If, however, you freeze them for a short period, make sure they are carefully wrapped in aluminium foil and place them in an airtight freezer bag. As with all types of cheeses, it is important to cool them before freezing, and to allow them to thaw slowly in the refrigerator, letting the cheese to regain the humidity lost while frozen.

Neither the taste nor the texture of meals cooked with previously frozen cheeses will be affected.
