So you
went ahead and splurged on a fantastic cheese and a week later you see sprigs
of mold growing where you didn’t see any before. What to do? Eighty-six it, or
salvage the remains? Mold has a lot to do with why some cheeses taste so great.
But most molds that begin life in your fridge are not safe for consumption.
Cheese can pick up mold spores from other foods in your fridge, and knowing
what is safe and what is not can be the difference between getting sick and
salvaging perfectly good food.
Generally
speaking, if you see blue, green or white mold, slice the offending bits off,
and consume the rest. If you spot any red, yellow or black mold, chances are
you want to cut your losses and toss the whole thing in the bin. If you see any
unusual mold on a moist, high water content cheese, you should definitely throw
the whole thing out, as dangerous bacterial activity may have permeated the
whole cheese. White or brown “cat hair” mold (pictured above) on high moisture
cheeses is usually due to too high humidity, and can render the cheese not safe
for consumption.
Oh my, what happened to that? I've seen on TV tons of times, people eating molds and they seem to be enjoying but I highly doubt that it's the same kind of mold as this one.
But yeah , I'm throwing everything out as soon as I see any signs of mold.
