Cheese Question

It really depends on the cheese, and in what form it's in. I've frozen solid mozzarella (not the fresh kind) and it defrosts pretty fine. I've frozen shredded mozz and don't care for the way it browns on pizza after defrosting.

Solid cheddar or shredded seems to have little problems. Solid Swiss - no problem.

Cream cheese can be problematic.

Can you be more specific?

Do you have a FoodSaver, or some other brand of vacuum sealer, RM?

Your cheese will keep for a LONG time, if you vacuum seal it and keep it in the fridge.

Go ahead and freeze them. Should be fine. Once you defrost them, though, be prepared to use them.

Thank you Qsis & Vera!
Q - I've been wanting a Food Saver for quite a while now. I'm hoping I get one for my birthday, lol :wink:

Vera - Thank you for your input. Now I know I can buy in bulk and not have to worry about spoilage before the cheese is used :)
