Ours generally defrosts OK, a couple of bags have gone a bit strange, thick in the bottom, maybe I didn't cool it quick enough?
I sometimes use the microwave to defrost, low power untill it 'softens' a bit, break it up with a fork and let it finish defrosting naturally for about 30mins or in fridge.

I've put a frozen pint into a jug of warm water before and its been OK or otherwise I leave to defrost in the fridge. Only problems I've had was when I used to freeze my exact soap making measurement of milk into a butter tub and leave it open - it used to get fur on the top so we don't do that now, too many wasted tubs of milk!

I just freeze mine as it comes out of the goats and defrost it overnight - don't ususally have any problems, occasionally the bought in semi-skimmed stuff goes 'bitty'......

I have found that sometimes it's not the same when defrosted so I warm it to the stage that it's about to start bubbling then cool it quickly by standing the saucepan in a sink of cold water. That seems to make it better.
