Freezing Cheese

Has anyone ever frozen a tub of Philapelphia cheese? And, if so, did it survive as itself, or did it metamorphosise into something else?

However, spurred on by You Lot [isn't gransnet wonderful? emoticon], I've just searched my 'local' (thirty miles away) Asda online and they do have some mini tubs of Philly! Sadly, it is only the pretend kind 'Light', and I want The Real McCoy! They had chocolate-flavoured as well but no Actual Proper Philly in small tubs. Sigh. Freezing, it'll have to be.

It's OK when GS is here. He eats it too.

They only sell the 'light' and 'extra-light' philly minis in my local Asda too. Tesco doesn't even stock them! I did try the 'light' version a while ago - awful...

Bought half a Stilton very cheaply just after New Year.Label said 'not suitable for freezing'.I cut it into small portions ,wrapped in clingfilm and stored in freezer.So far all pieces taken out have been fine both in flavour and texture.

I've stored lots of different cheeses in the freezer over the years, usually left over from posh dinner parties, (do you remember them? shock )
They always tasted good, and I always keep some in there now,along with a large block of Lurpak, just in case.

I keep some 'spare' Lurpak in the freezer too. Wouldn't do to run out of that!

Funny I like the light version! Also like light with peppers and sweet chilli flavour!
