freeze cheese

[mandimoo]

can you freeze a hard cheese, such as cheddar?

[Hapus]

Yes. But make sure you wrap it well. I find it is more useable if it has been grated first.

mandi - Yes you can, we do a monthly shop & buy a large block of cheddar & cut it into about six smaller pieces wrapped in greaseproof paper then put it into one large freezer bag.

i regularly freeze bits of leftover cheese and when ive got enough bits i defrost them and make a quiche.

I often freeze cheddar, but you might find there's a very slight deterioration in taste after defrosting.
