Can You Freeze Casu Marzu Maggot Infested Cheese?

Freezing Casu Marzu is not recommended. 

The unique nature of this cheese, with live maggots present, makes it unsuitable for freezing. The cold temperatures can cause damage to the texture and flavor of the cheese, and it may not be safe to consume once thawed.

If you have leftover Casu Marzu that you cannot finish, it is best to discard it rather than attempt to freeze it.
