5. Avoid Cheese with Holes

One of the most damaging aspects of freezing cheese is the freezing of any water molecules that are in the air next to the cheese. This is one reason why it is important to seal the cheese as well as possible before it is put in the freezer. Avoiding the freezing of water molecules can be all but impossible to avoid in some cheeses, however.

Some cheeses are known for being full of empty pockets. This is a result of yeast producing gas during the fermentation process. These holes are full of air with water molecules that can be frozen, and this can contribute to cheese being damaged during the freezing and thawing processes.
