Can You Freeze Goat Cheese?
This is how to freeze goat cheese so you can enjoy cooking with it all round the year.
Ingredients
- Goat cheese
- Kitchen knife
- Freezer bag
- Airtight glass containers
- Spreadable or whipped goat cheese
- Freezer
Instructions
- Cut the cheese into serving-sized blocks.
- Place each individual, cut up a piece of cheese in a freezer bag, and make sure it is completely airtight. Any entry of outside air and heat can lead to the growth of mold and contaminants.
- If you have spreadable or whipped goat cheese, you’ll have to empty it out of the plastic container it came in and put it in airtight glass containers instead.
- Put enough in each that you only take it out once—for one serving, because of the same reason that we’ve mentioned above. You can fill the remaining space with olive oil to make sure there’s no air in the container.
- Place it in the freezer.
Notes
1. Make sure to cut the cheese into serving-sized blocks before you freeze it. So that you don’t have to take out the whole chunk of cheese and expose it to the outside air every time you just need a little bit for a recipe.
