Ricotta Cheese can be frozen but when frozen Ricotta Cheese changes in texture.

However it's still safe to eat and frozen Ricotta Cheese is good in baked goods.

The ricotta cheese can be frozen for up to 2 months.

When freezing ricotta cheese just be aware that while the ricotta cheese can be frozen that the texture and taste of the ricotta cheese can change.

The ricotta cheese will remain safe to eat but it may not taste as good.

I would only freeze cheese such as ricotta cheese or any other cheese if I were just using the ricotta cheese or other cheese for cooking.

When cooking with ricotta cheese or any other frozen cheese you won't notice the texture or taste change.

But even if you don't cook with the cheese it's still okay to freeze it.

Ricotta is an Italian whey cheese made from sheep, cow, goat, or Italian water buffalo milk whey left over from the production of other cheeses.

Like other whey cheeses, it is made by coagulating the proteins that remain after the casein has been used to make cheese, notably albumin and globulin.
