Can You Freeze Emmental?

Life can get busy, and it's not uncommon to have extra Emmental on hand so, freezing can be a convenient way to extend its shelf life. Unfortunately, freezing often affects the texture of cheese, and Emmental is no exception. When frozen and thawed, the cheese may become crumbly and lose some of its original taste and texture. If you do decide to freeze Emmental, it's best to shred or grate it before freezing, as it will be easier to use in recipes or as a topping when needed.
