Can You Freeze Cheddar?

Yes, you can freeze cheddar cheese to extend its shelf life. However,  freezing cheese usually affects its texture, and once thawed, the cheese may become crumbly or have a slightly different consistency. To freeze cheddar cheese, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. When you're ready to use it, allow it to thaw slowly in the refrigerator.
