Cheese
March 16, 2006 on 12:52 am | In Life |I left my shredded cheese out overnight by accident. Last night I couldn’t sleep, so I got up and put some left over rice in a bowl and sprinkled pizza mix cheese over it and put the bowl in the microwave. Heading back to my room to enjoy my midnight snack, I forgot to put the bag of cheese away. So do you think it’s still good? Can it go bad without having mold on it?
Which brings me to another thing. You can get mozzerella shredded cheese and you can get cheddar shredded cheese. With the cheddar, you know it’s gone bad when it develops white spots, which progress into green spots if left long enough. Now I can’t help but think I’ve eaten much moldy mozzerella cheese since the preliminary mold is white, the same colour as the cheese.

I’ve eaten cheese I’ve left out overnight or at least for a few hours, and it’s ok. Just go by taste… if it tastes rank, it probably is!
My mozzarella gets blue mold.

mould at most times will not kill you.

FYI: Cheese can be frozen. When it thaws, it becomes crumbly so would be hard to put in a sandwich, but for cooking it’s GRATE.

It also depends on how processed the cheese is…. Funnily enough, the more preservatives are in it, the more likely it is to get gross if not refrigerated.
