It gets all crumbly and falls apart. I guess if you're going to crumble it up anyway, it'll work ok. But it's definitely not a good idea for slicing the cheese... So, NOT freezing whole blocks of cheese works for me. :)

Works for me Wednesday: Freezing
Don't freeze blocks of cheese. I've heard of people freezing shredded cheese before, so I thought I could freeze blocks too. Here's what happens:

It never occurred to me I couldn't freeze blocks of cheese. I will need to remember that!
hahaha! Sorry, but that is kinda funny. Thanks for the tip! I have never froze cheese anyway but now I know for sure not to freeze blocks. :)
This is an awesome warning! My mom always freezes shredded cheese (that she shreds herself, not the pre-shredded kind) and it turns out perfectly. I've always wondered what happened if you tried a block. Now I know!
Thanks for the warning - it's good to know BEFORE I try!
Actually, I freeze blocks of Colby and Monterey Jack cheese (mixed - it looks marbled), and it stays sliceable and good. Cheddar always crumbles, though.... :)
No need to freeze cheese- if it's sealed in the orginal wrapping it will keep for a long time in the fridge. If it's airtight, it will keep on the pantry shelf! It's how they used to store cheese- waxed, at room temp.
