Quick Answers
Can natural cheese be frozen?
The following cheeses freeze well in small pieces of one
pound or less, not more than one inch thick: Brick;
Cheddar; Edam; Gouda; Muenster; Port du Salut; Swiss;
Provolone; Mozzarella; and Camembert. Small quantities
of Blue, Roquefort, and Gorgonzola can also be frozen
for salads and salad dressings, or other uses where a
crumbly texture is acceptable. Most natural cheeses can
be frozen for short periods. See MP 556 "Storing
Foods In the Freezer" for length of storage for
various natural cheeses.
