Can I freeze Mozzerella cheese?

Question

Can I freeze Mozzerella cheese?

Answer 1

I would pre-shred it before doing so, but yes.  You can freeze pretty much any food, without altering the composition too much.

Answer 2

Yes, I'd recommend you pre grate your cheese before you freeze it.

Answer 3

Yes you can and if you are planning to use it take it out of the freezer a couple hours earlier

Answer 4

YEAH IT SHOULD BE FINE, just allow it to thaw before trying to break it apart

Answer 5

Hard cheese can be frozen for up to three months. Freezing does not affect flavour, but tends to create a crumbly texture that is difficult to slice successfully. For best results, cheese should be wrapped in foil, then placed in a clearly labelled, sealed freezer bag. Ideally, it should be thawed in a refrigerator for 24 hours before use and should not be re-frozen once thawed. Grated cheese freezes well and can be added to hot sauces and soups straight from the freezer. Medium fat soft cheese, e.g. curd cheese, can be frozen for up to three months and full fat soft cheese, e.g. cream cheese, can be frozen for up to one month. Both types can be frozen in the carton in which they were purchased. Thaw soft cheeses overnight in the refrigerator. Cottage cheese is unsuitable for freezing.

Answer 6

Yes, but it will keep well in the frig.

Answer 7

yes, you can freeze it if you want to break it in little pieces.

Answer 8

Yep

Note: Even though you are freezing the cheese this doesn't mean it will last in the freezer forever. Most frozen cheeses last anywhere from 3-5 months. Depending on how you store it of course. Hard cheese also freeze much better than soft cheese.

You can freeze the cheese in the whole bulk, chunk pieces, or you can grate it.

Hope this helps

Answer 9

yeah in -18c  

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

Yes, I do all the time.  Most cheeses will freeze just fine.  Soft cheeses and cottage cheese don't, and some cheeses change a little in consistency when thawed out (cheddar gets crumbly), but they are still fine.
