Blue Cheese
I bought a large package of blue cheese from Costco. I absolutely love the stuff, but no one in my family can understand why.
Would you believe I left some of it too long, and it went bad. What hubby would like to know: How do you tell when blue cheese goes bad?????? hehehe He thinks it looks and smells disgusting all the time!!! Glenda |
I'm with your husband on this one, Glenda! Ew!!! If it has mould on it- throw it away!
:D Sorry to be no help- just wanted to share!! Daisy :daizy: |
I didn't know it could go bad. I just thought that it developed more "character":) .

PS: What hubby doesn't know: looks and smells matter not at all when it comes to cheese. Only taste does… |
Thanks for the insight Bill!!!
Unfortunately, hubby would tend to err on the side of caution when it comes to taste too!! When I said my blue cheese had gone bad, it really had!!! When I opened it up, instead of white with blue or green veins, it was just covered in green fuzz!!!! I guess I will have to buy smaller packages!!! Glenda |

The king of Cheeses! STILTON
Absolutely my favourite cheese. Blue, veiny ,crumbly, creamy......almost orgasmic. It is far better than Rockefort and half the salt content, in fact the lowest salt of all the blue cheeses. It has been around in England for over 300 years! Long known as the king of cheeses it is one of a handful of British cheeses granted the status of a protected designation origin" (PDO) by the European Commission. Only cheese produced in the three counties of Derbyshire, Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire and made according to a strict code may be called Stilton. There are just six dairies that make it. A truly remarkable cheese. Oh ..... sorry got carried away....the answer to your question is that Stilton will keep ok in the fridge for six weeks if wrapped. But unlike many other cheeses CAN be put in the freezer. Defrost overnight or bring out of the fridge and allow to rise to room temp (68F) Try www.stiltoncheese.com for places to buy in US. Enjoy! |
Try Cambonzola! (Camembert with a vein of gorgonzola) It is sooooo delicious that it won't hang around long enough to go bad.
I'm with you on all of these moldy cheeses - they're just divine and I crave them endlessly. (I need a drooling smiley here :) ) I tend to hang around the cheese department sniffing every kind of cheese available. The more it stinks, the more I know I'm going to like it! I don't know how I survived the low-fat diet years. Yum, yum, yum. Allison |

I just LOVE bleu cheese!! AND, because my husband and sons think it's caca, It is mine-all-mine, so I can just take the 'hunk' out of the fridge and munch. But BECAUSE it is mine-all-mine, it can sometimes get too old and not eaten up. I have HAD it turn bad and believe me you can tell-- even just to lift it up to your mouth--PU. And I've had it get to the 'fuzzy' point and even slimy. Eeeeewwww.
But when fresh, it's second to brie in my book. YB |
It's nice to know there are other blue cheese lovers out there!!!!
I don't believe I have tried Stilton cheese, but just may buy some in the near future to give it a try!! Thanks for all the info!!! Glenda |
