can I freeze sheeps milk cheese?

mrs_baggins

or failing that something to do with it. I have a big block that I didnt realise was up to its sell by date and I dont just want to throw it. Its fairly crumbly in texture-bit like feta type cheese

You can freeze feta, although it is always a little more crumbly after defrosting, so I don't see why you should not freeze your sheeps' milk cheese.
Few ideas about storing feta here which you might like to use http://greekfood.about.com/od/buyingguide/a/shopping_feta.htm

I've frozen feta and it was fine

Lots of ideas as to what to do with your cheese here; I'll merge this later to keep ideas together.

I buy sheep and goats' milk cheese regularly and feeze them, they will be fine.

they freeze okay, but you could use some up by making cheese tartlets (nice recipe for christmas - for the buffet lunch boxing day?)
cheese tartlets
either shortcrust or filo pastry
cheese
some basil leaves
cherry tomatoes or sundried tomatoes

either cut your shortcrust pastry into rounds to fit in bun tin or cut filo pastry into squares and layer two or three layers (brush with oil or melted butter between each layer) and place in greased bun tin.
put a generous tablespoon of cheese into each pastry case
top with a basil leaf
then with either half a cherry tomato or a generous piece of sundried tomato
bake in a mod to hot oven for about 15 minutes until the pastry is cooked and golden
dont worry about the cheese melting - it doesnt have to!
serve hot, warm or cold!
