How long do you plan to be gone? Cheese isn't something you
need to eat in a day or even a week.

You'll have to take your chances with freezing cheeses.
Most of the cheeses I freeze come out fine... others are
very grainy. Cream cheese is very grainy after it's frozen.
However, it's usually okay after you stir it up <that tast
is the same even if the texture isn't>.


Practice safe eating - always use condiments
