can I freeze cheese

Pink.

Hi shez,

Yes you can, I freeze cheese all the time, although I think hard cheese freezes better than soft cheese. I like to grate cheese in batches to save time and washing up and keep it in the freezer so I can lift some out when I need it in a hurry.

Hello!

Around this time last year, I received a 14lb block of mature cheddar cheese for free!

I froze some of it, and it was fine. It has a slightly different texture, so it is probably better for cooking - although my cheese was okay still for sandwiches. Wrap small 1/2 lb pieces in lots of clingfilm, and stick them in a bag before putting in the freezer.

HI, just wanted to post that you can freeze soft cheese, so when i see it reduced in tescos next, i'm going to freeze it and then use when i need to.

Soft cheese as in cottage cheese or philly style cheese? I've never seen philly reduced in any supermarket only cottage cheese.

I'll be on the lookout cause I love both cottage and philly!

I have some in my freezer at the moment!!!! Just put it straight in, in the tub i bought it. Does need to be used quickly once its defrosted tho, and is a bit more watered down.

I've made some from homemade cream cheese (yoghurt cheese but use it just like cream cheese), could I freeze that too?
