I need some help pls. Can you freeze mozzarella cheese

[onecent]

that is shredded in an unopened package. Will it still be usable?

Thanks. I have way too many bags on hand in the frig.

1. Yes....

With some qualifications. It will still melt fine, but be aware that it might dehydrate some after freezing.

If it's something you would normally use on pizza or casseroles, it shouldn't matter too much.

I wouldn't defrost it before using, just break it up enough to sprinkle. That way the water crystals won't be lost.

Cheddar, on the other hand, freezes not at all well, so try to avoid freezing it.

2. No problem at all

Think of frozen pizzas ..... they have frozen mozz .......

Politicat's tips are right on the money .... or cheeses, as it were.
