How to freeze it

Cut the cheese into 1-1/2- to 1-pound sizes.
Package it in moisture-vapor resistant material.

Keeps for: Hard cheese (such as cheddar and Swiss), 6 months Soft cheese (such as Brie), 6 months at best quality

Depends on the form

Cream cheese, cottage cheese and ricotta cheese do not freeze well.
