Can you freeze mild cheddar cheese?

Question

I'd like to freeze a block of it to use later but am not sure how well it would handle being frozen and then defrosted. It's never been opened either.

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

I freeze mine all the time.  When it's on sale, I buy several blocks at a time.  I just put them in the freezer in a freezer bag in the size I want to use when I take it out to refrigerate it.  You can put the sealed one right in the freezer without a freezer bag if you want.

Answer 3

Yes do it all the time, butter too.

Answer 4

yes just make sure you seal it properly if open.

Answer 5

Yes you can!  You can even freeze milk!  It separates a bit, but you just have to mix it up.  I don't like fat free milk as well frozen though.  As far as cheese goes, I would perhaps have it already cut up.  I did this with a brick of cheese one time, but I didn't like the way that sliced afterwards.  People also have shredded cheese on pizza's and cheddar with others that have been frozen:)  

Answer 6

Yes, I do it all the time too.  Know it all is right, shredded cheese defrost better than block cheese.

Answer 7

Well what i do is i shred it first and then freeze it and it defrosts just fine !  This is a great way to make sure your cheese doesn't get mouldy !
