Cheese – Can you freeze cheese and still keep the flavor when you defrost it

I was thinking in particular about Brie because of its soft texture…

We've successfully frozen shredded mozzarella and then baked with it without losing flavor. Apparently the thing to be concerned about is the texture, not the flavor, and harder cheeses tend to retain their texture better (though using them for cooking/baking is still the only recommended way) according to Still Tasty.
I've done this both ways and prefer to freeze my fruit pies before I bake them. You have to bake them longer (20 min to 1/2 hour) and will need to use foil to be sure the crust doesn't come out too dark. No soggy crust this way.
