Freezing Cheese......I bought a bunch Of cheese and froze it.

Will some cheese keep better than other cheese frozen.......?????

[RangerXanatos]

I would assume so since I've heard that when unrefrigerated, firmer cheese will last longer than softer cheese. But in the freezer, I think that the time difference between the two would be very small.

These are tightly wrapped 5 pound bricks of Mozzarella Cheese.

MMMm ,, Thats good stuff !

(I dont know anything about freezing it, sorry)

[Wise Old Owl]

I don't think its necessary to freeze it, just keep it cool... next to a water bladder.

Godamighty, you got yourself a boatload of food, not only enough for this world but for the next one as well.
I sure hope something hits the fan, for your sake!

[canid]

they should keep the same, but they will not all thaw the same. softer cheeses will tend to thaw out crumbly.

i'm pretty sure it comes down to moisture content.

I got 38,762 can of sardines & 48 pounds of Pilot bread.

I think scotch would keep better, not to mention you'll be happier with it in the long run.

money isn't the truest form of wealth, but a horde of cheese, 38,762 can of sardines & 48 pounds of Pilot bread is close. only missing a couple dozen kegs of good beer and a 55 gallon drum of mustard.

Just curious...how do you even rotate that many cans? They don't really last more than 5 yrs tops...after which there are no guarantees that they'll be good or safe.
What's your plan?

I can use them for bear bait, and eat the bear.........:kiss:

You can freeze it for up to 6 months. the texture will change though, it will be more crumbly. defrost it slowly. Oh you might want to either make sure your saw is nice and clean to carve peices off, or want to eat a lot of cheese!

[Rick]

As long as the cans aren't damaged the sardines should last forever (or until 2012 with that whole end of the world thing). The vitamin content may degrade and the look and taste change with time but they should still be safe to eat.

i posted about htis a couple of years ago with the same problem, Block cheese went on sale at half price so i bought a bunch and froze some, and as posted it was crumbly when thawed, but still edible
I do like wise old owls suggestion, SD maybe build a cold cellar, half in the ground and half out, but the top half cover with earth for a raised mound then use some ice from the winter covered in straw or hay, i have noticed that the hay bales i keep out in the winter has still had ice under it up until late june, so imagine ifn coovered up permanetly
Also on the canned food, i have had bags of beans and canned in the basement for 7 years now and take a test sample every year and no problems as of yet

how many packages of breath mints are you storing?

[canid]

old men don't need breath mints.

Mozerella freezes better than most. I always freeze it. If it's shredded though, I put it in a vacuum bag to keep the ice crystals off it.

The other thing that freezes surprisingly well is those blocks of orange American 'cheese'.

Cheddars and the others not so much. They come out grainy as everyone said. You can't make a smooth mac & cheese with frozen cheddar. It's edible, but lumpy.
