On Freezing Cheese
How long cheese stays good depends on what type of cheese it is. Soft cheeses tend to go bad quicker than hard cheeses. Parmesan has been known to keep for weeks in a refrigerator. I've had many people ask me if it was ok to freeze the cheese so that they last longer. The answer is no! Do not freeze the cheese! Freezing soft cheeses will make them lose their flavor and hard cheeses will become very crumbly.
Even most domestic refrigerators are kept at a temperature too low for storing most cheeses. The ideal temperature is around 50°F. So a cool pantry or cellar would be best.
