#How long is mac and cheese good for in the fridge how to
How to store it: "You can store your soft cheeses much like the semi-hards and hards. "I would be very careful eating them even one to two weeks after their expiration date. These cheeses have so much moisture inside them, they are kind of like ticking time bombs. What's the fridge life? "Soft, less-mature cheeses will go bad much more quickly than the hard or semi-hards," Freier said. Just look for any weird molds, and make sure it tastes the same - relatively! - as it did when you bought it." id-art/ShutterstockĮxamples: Cottage cheese, cream cheese, ricotta, Brie, mozzarella, Neufchâtel, feta, Gorgonzola, Camembert Like with the super-hard cheeses, you can definitely cut off mold and still eat it, as long as it is not completely covered - I mean, mold is totally natural. Honestly, if you are trying to see if a cheese has gone bad past that approximate time frame, your senses are your friends. How to tell if it's gone bad: "When you buy your cheese and open it up - you have to get to know it. This will also keep the cheesy smell off the rest of the food in your fridge, and vice versa." "This may be the best method to keep your cheese tasting fresh - the Ziploc bag allows air flow, but a limited air flow. How to store it: Freier often wraps her cheese in breathable parchment-type paper, then places it inside a Ziploc bag. Again, you have to be able to also use your judgment to see if it's still good," she noted.
I'd say two to four weeks after the expiration date is the basic time frame. There's more moisture present in the cheeses, so they aren't going to keep as long. What's the fridge life? "For semi-hard and semi-soft cheeses - the middle ground - your time frame is a little less than harder cheeses. If you are seeing red or black mold, it could be another issue and you should throw the cheese out, honestly." Merrimon Crawford/ShutterstockĮxamples: Emmental, Gruyère, havarti, Muenster, Port Salut, Gouda, Edam, Jarlsberg, Cantal, cașcaval "If the mold is white, or blue/green - that's natural. "Just chop off the problem area, and you should be good to go." Though Freier noted to pay attention to the mold you see, before slicing it off and digging in. How to tell if it's gone bad: "With harder cheeses, you can definitely cut a little mold off, should some pop up," she said. "The cheese needs to breathe - this will help it last longer than if it's suffocated." How to store it: "What I do, is use what I call the 'egg drawer' (NOTE: Not the vegetable drawer - though that can be used in a pinch) and wrap the cheese in cheese cloth, parchment paper, or butcher paper," she said, while advising all cheese lovers to stay away from wrapping it, skin-tight, in cellophane. "Most can last four to six months in your fridge, if you store it correctly. All cheese will lose moisture and change over time - though harder cheeses have less internal moisture than most anyway, so they will be the least affected." Though the cheese will last and still be "good," Freier noted that any cheese, when frozen, will taste a little differently. What's the fridge life? "Harder, aged cheeses will last the longest in the fridge out of any cheese," said Freier. Examples: Asiago, Parmesan, Beaufort, pecorino Romano, Cheddar
