Can you freeze block cheese??

[oberhaslikid]

The trick to freezing cheese is to leave in the original package if at all possible,and wrap again in freezer paper or even newspaper. Then when you want to thaw it and not be crumbly .Then you completely thaw in the fridge and then bring out on the counter till room temp and then back in the fridge to store it.This is from Heines cheese house .When we go to Amish country we buy up wheels of cheese bring home and this was the instructions I was given when I ask about freezing.It works.

I haven't done it, but I would think if you have a food saver, that might help too, especially if you have opened the original package.

I use the food saver on my cheese and it works just fine. But one note about the food saver make sure you have one that you can control the vacuum on...lol cause if its sliced cheese it won't be when you get it out.

I found out the hard way after getting bulk and slicing my own I had to re-slice it due to over vacuuming it....so DH went and got me a new fancy food saver vacuum sealer so I wouldn't pout next time.

I find mine stick together even if not vacuum sealed... so I just put a piece of wax paper between each slice.
