Chevre - Freezing For Later Consumption

[goatcheezer]

NEW NEW NEW to this cheese thing and would like some advice on adding salt before freezing ? Hang first then freeze? Just ladle in freezer bags? Have about 8 gallons of curd slightly drained by a colander and then I put the whole batch in a cooler, covered of course! I just had to get this out of my way

Freeze the finished, drained chevre, already salted and packed.

Ricki Carroll says to freeze chevre unsalted. Is there an advantage to salting before freezing? I would love the convenience of thawing ready-to-eat cheese.

[linuxboy]

No real advantage except convenience. If you make chevre right and freeze quickly and defrost slowly, it will not separate regardless if you salt or not. Besides, the salt level is pretty low.

I don't salt mine.

Thanks, LB. I'm all about convenience and it will also be better when I gift it.
