Should you choose to freeze cottage cheese to use it later for a specific purpose, here are our step-by-step instructions for how to freeze cottage cheese.
The first thing to do when freezing cottage cheese is to separate it into the desired portion sizes. Cottage cheese can be purchased in quite large containers in wholesale stores. The average household will not use such large quantities at a time, so you’ll want to divide it up into manageable and useable portions for freezing and thawing.
Use an Airtight Container
When freezing cottage cheese, if the package is unopened and still sealed, it’s best to freeze it in its original packaging if it doesn’t need to be portioned out.
Use Freezer Bag
Use a freezer bag for best results for cottage cheese that needs to be divided out. Be sure to seal the zipped freezer bag to keep the cottage cheese as fresh as possible.
Remove Air
When packaging cottage cheese to be frozen, be sure to remove any excess air to keep it from becoming freezer burnt.
