Freeze Cheese

Did you know that you can freeze cheese?

Yes, you can actually freeze cheese by following these simple instructions.

1. Leave cheese in its protective wrap. If you would like some cheese before you freeze it, cut some off and then make sure you wrap it tightly with saran wrap.
2. It is good practice to wrap cheese in newspaper or freezer wrap. This will keep the cheese from getting freezer burn.
3. Thawing out the cheese?

• Take cheese out of the freezer and let it thaw out in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. This will keep the cheese from crumbling.

Cheese may be frozen for up to 6 months.

Are you traveling long distances with cheese?

Cheese should be kept in a cooler or thermal bag if traveling for more than 2 days.

Will cheese keep during those hot summer days?

Yes, it will, by following these simple instructions.

1. Have your cheese double-bagged when traveling for more than 2 days.
2. If you have air conditioning, keep your cheese up front where it is cool.
3. If you are traveling 3 or more days without air conditiong it is advisable to use an ice chest.
4. Do not put cheese in your car trunk. This would be the hottest place.
