Can you freeze sliced cheese?

We do not recommend freezing any of our dairy products, including any sliced cheese. While freezing poses no food safety risk, it can significantly affect quality, including taste, texture, and performance. Freezing cheese slices can make them brittle or grainy, reducing their ideal melt and smoothness in recipes.

How long do unopened cheese slice packs stay fresh?

The recommended shelf life for cheese slices is printed directly on the packaging, provided the package has not been opened. Once opened, proper storage is essential to preserve freshness and quality.

Do cheese slices contain lactose or gluten?

The lactose and gluten content of our cheese slices varies by product. - For example, Swiss cheese slices are naturally lactose-free. - Most other varieties of sliced cheese, such as Cheddar cheese slices, do contain lactose unless otherwise labelled. We recommend checking the nutritional information on each product page before purchasing, especially if you’re seeking lactose-free or gluten-free cheese slice options.

How should cheese slices be stored for freshness?

The best way to store cheese slices depends on the cheese product itself, but temperature control is key. To store cheese properly: - Keep your refrigerator consistently between 1–4°C (34–38°F). - Store cheeses like Cheddar or Swiss in their original packaging until opened. - Once opened, carefully close the sliced cheese's zipper seal for optimal freshness and place it in the meat or vegetable drawer, where the temperature is most stable.
