is it possible to freeze pate, cheese and cheesecake? none were previously frozen btw. went mad at the weekend buying really nice but naughty things, havent opened them and now dont want to eat them as going on a mega diet this week
I often freeze cheese, but I find that strong cheddar, for example, after defrosting, is a bit more crumbly and the flavour isn't quite as good as when it's fresh. But it's still acceptable.
I often freeze cheddar cheese - but as heathfield says, it does go a bit crumbly.... I get around this by grating it then popping it into a freezer proof plastic box - it's quick and easy to defrost then. This same method is ok for parmesan and other hard cheeses.
