Notes
Don't Smash it: especially during the freezing stage, be sure to not smash the cheese in the freezer.
Do it fresh: it is important to freeze it as fresh as possible so that the taste, texture and quality will still be top notch when thawed.
No air allowed: make sure to keep as much air out of the packaging as possible in order to help it maintain the highest quality. Air will start to degrade the quality faster and produce freezer burn.
