Greetings, iam Kenneth West, Have a two coffee day!
Well, it’s true - cheese does expire! But don’t worry, there are a few tricks to help you tell when your cheese has gone bad. You know what they say: “A little knowledge goes a long way!” So let’s dive in and learn all about how to tell when your cheese has expired. Yikes!
What Cheese Does Not Expire? [Solved]
Savage says hard cheeses like parmesan and pecorino will last the longest, then semi-hard cheeses like cheddar, swiss and gouda come in a close second.
Shelf Life: Most types of cheese have a shelf life of around 6 weeks, although some can last up to 8 weeks. After this time, the cheese will start to spoil and should not be consumed.
Storage: Cheese should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator at all times to prevent it from spoiling prematurely.
Smell Test: If you are unsure if your cheese has gone bad, give it a smell test - if it smells sour or off then it is likely expired and should not be eaten.
Moldy Cheese: If your cheese has developed mold on the surface, discard immediately as this is a sign that the cheese has gone bad and could make you sick if consumed.
Freezing Cheese: Some types of cheese can be frozen for up to 3 months without losing flavor or texture; however, freezing does not stop the expiration process so make sure to use frozen cheeses within their recommended shelf life after thawing them out again before consuming them
Yeah, cheese does expire - it’s not gonna last forever! It’s important to check the expiration date on the package before you buy it, and once you do get it home, make sure to store it properly. Otherwise, you’ll end up with a stinky mess that nobody wants. Yuck!
