freezing shredded cheese

[Vicki Lynn]

I received 4 - one pound packages of cheddar shredded cheese and would like to know if I can freeze them and for how long. Any suggestions?

Yes, you can freeze them. I'm not sure how long because we go through cheese pretty fast at my house.

I freeze cheese all the time. Lasts a long time. Can't provide a time period, though. As above, we go through it reasonably fast.

Worked at Pizza hut as a kid and all our cheese came in frozen. I would guess that you should use it within 3 monthes. (Most cheesecakes can be frozen three monthes before the flavor and texture suffer, so I`m assumiong that`s the case for most dairy.) It will be best if you let it thaw before using it even in cooked dishes.

Frozen pizzas come with frozen cheese on and are cooked from frozen...
