Leave blocks of cheese in its original packaging. Wrap it in parchment paper, followed by a loose covering of aluminum foil. Place in an airtight freezer bag or container to prevent freezer burn. Label the bags with the date and freeze for up to nine months.
2. How to Freeze Shredded Cheese
Divide your shredded cheese into freezer bags and squeeze air out. Label the bags and freeze for up to nine months.
3. How to Freeze Slices of Cheese
Separate the slices using parchment paper. Store in an airtight container or bag. Label the bags and freeze for up to nine months.
How to Thaw Frozen Cheese
