can I freeze cheese

I don't buy cheap cheese as the better the taste the less you need. And it always crumbles for me after being frozen.
And the blocks my mum buys for me are made on a local farm and are suppose to have a retail price of over £5.
Strange that.

Does anyone know whether Brie freezes well? I have frozen some and am wondering what it will be like when I come to defrost and use it!0

As title suggests, can I freeze either of these things?
Am about to do a shop which I want to last for the whole of next month.
I'm really trying to cut down and figure the less trips I make to the shops the less chance of unecessary spending (inevitable with 3 kids)
Thanks,

yes to both
but i do tend to find strong cheddar crumbles when defrosted, but the cheapy stuff stays ok0 -
I freeze butter & cheese quite regularly. Butter is always fine & cheese is best grated & well wrapped. A whole block of cheese sometimes gets a bit of freezer burn around it's edges & goes a bit dry.0

Bought two tubs this week and won't get to use them before the best before date... can I freeze them? I know it's ok to freeze milk and normal cheese so I guess this is the same? Anybody know any different

You can, its not the best type of cheese to freeze tho, it will go watery.0

If you store the unopened one in the fridge upside down ... you'll get a few more days out of them.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
