Can You Freeze Kasseri Cheese?

If you find yourself with a surplus of Kasseri cheese and want to extend its shelf life, freezing is an option. 

Unfortunately, it's important to note that the texture of the cheese may change after being frozen. To freeze Kasseri cheese, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, ensuring there is no air exposure. Place it in an airtight container or a freezer bag to prevent freezer burn. When you're ready to use it, thaw the cheese in the refrigerator overnight. While the flavor may remain intact, the texture may become crumbly, so it is best used in cooked dishes rather than for direct consumption.
