can I freeze cheese

Kerriebaby

I freeze my cheese in a big tupperware box, stays all nice and loose, and the OH doesnt carve huge chunks when he has the munchies!:j

lucielle

I have bought a large amount of cheese. Is it best to freeze it in blocks or grate it and then freeze?

I usually grate it - it's easy to grab just what you need this way.

I'm with sunflower

I'll add this to the existing thread on freezing cheese to keep ideas together

Hi lucielle,

If it's hard cheese I usually grate it too because once it's been frozen it can become crumbly and difficult to cut. As sunflower has said if grated cheese is frozen loosely packed in a freezer bag or container it's easy to just take out the amount you need.

There's an earlier thread on freezing cheese so I'll add this thread to it to keep the replies together.

my mum has just turned up with a goody bag of whoopsies from Mr T's,:D all to be eaten by today!:eek: I've frozen , sausage rolls, choc cake, apple crumble, pasties etc but I'm left with a chinese meal for 2 , a cheeseboard and 2 fresh cream scones! Have decided to have the chinese for my supper but dont really want to waste the cheese... can it be frozen? have looked on the packaging and it doesnt mention anything . it includes cheddar, edam, brie and stilton...

I know you can freeze the cheddar - not sure about the rest.

And I know edam and brie will be fine too. But I haven't tried stilton.

I've frozen stilton - it's fine.

thank you so much for your quick replies. cheese is now in the freezer, chinese in the Micro, just need to save some room for the scones!
