Does roux freeze?

Has anybody tried freezing it? I'm not sure because of the
flour and oil content.

Noboy's asked this question for, what... three days now?

Yes, you can freeze it. You can also refrigerate it for
several months.

I have no idea what a New Orleans Roux is, but a 'normal'
flour / butter roux freezes fine, although care needs to be
taken when reheating as it may separate.
