Notes
Proper Portions: portion our the cheese when you package it so that you can defrost just the amount you need each time.
Fresh as can be: the fresher it is when you freeze it the better, this will ensure this highest possible quality when thawed.
Airtight: keeping the air away from the cheese will be important in order to prevent freezer burn or other decrease in quality.
