Can cheese be frozen?

MsWoods · 11-05-2009, 09:44 AM

A local market has cheese on sale very cheap and I was wondering if I could stock up and freeze it?

Gretalyn · 11-05-2009, 09:45 AM

Yes, it tends to get a bit crumbly after being frozen, but the taste seems unaffected.

I freeze cheese.
I get it in bulk at Costco and then divide it up and freeze it

MsWoods · 11-05-2009, 09:50 AM

Thank you, I wasn't sure. I usually melt mine so I don't care if it's crumbly.

I like to shred it and store it frozen in a ziploc bag. Thaws super fast. If you try to grate it after it's been frozen it crumbles and is sort of frustrating.

I've learned to freeze just about anything!! All cheese, even cottage, cream and ricotta...Never had any problems when using them later..

CarbCrazyChristine · 11-05-2009, 01:10 PM

Yes, I always freeze cheese when it goes on sale.

I freeze cheese even cream cheese it thaws out very well.

I really need a deep freezer!!! Didn't think to buy cream cheese, sour cream, cheese, etc. on sale & freeze it. Don't have much room left in my freezer ATM it's full of meat

Ok, a first for me...ThreadJack!!! Ms.Woods --I have read your comments a lot over the last few months and have always been impressed with your stats. I appears to me that you are now approaching two major milestones. You are knocking on the 100 lbs loss mark and getting ready to enter into the 200 land! Wow -- and only since June? I am not worthy!!!

I kinda like the way it gets crumbly. Kinda of like the cheese crumbles sold in stores. I have often wondered if they freeze it first.

You can but I don't care for the texture when it is thawed and many things lose some of their flavor when frozen.
