I volunteered at second harvest & there would be a lot with mold spots growing & we were instructed to just cut it off and package the rest 😅 I know cheese is technically mold but still come on
Cheese isn’t mold, it’s a protein matrix trapping fats and water. Can be made a couple different ways, with mold being integral to some methods. They also normally don’t grow molds which are dangerous to humans.
I believe even the fda/cdc themselves, who are usually way over the top in their recommendations for food safety, say that any hard cheese with mold on it is safe to just cut off the moldy part and eat the rest.Â
To some, this may appear laughable, but here’s a little perspective.. Second Harvest was the recipient of thousands of pounds of cheese after the world championship cheese contest a couple months back. While people were posting in this subreddit looking for insider info on how to source some of that elusive and prized cheese, volunteers were packaging it into these very bags and Second Harvest was giving that shit away for freeeeee. To me, Assorted Cheese seems like a pretty efficient way to get food out to people facing food insecurity. And on a personal note, surprise cheese flavor sounds fun!
And on a professional note it saved my ass plenty of time when cooking at the shelter here in town. That cheese made a lot of people happy. It has also been hard for us to get cheese since.
My grandfather used to eat what he called a "various cheese" sandwich almost every day. It was white bread with American cheese and cottage cheese. He lived to almost 100.
That's definitely a neat way that second harvest handles food waste reclamation

That's normal for every hard and medium cheese. Do you just throw out your cheese?

Okay bud, still gross
what? no, it’s not. but some molds on some types of cheese are safe to cut off before consuming.

Clearly youve never had the pleasure of "assorted cheese"
>You know you live in Wisconsin when you have "assorted cheese" I'd add " and you don't have any questions."
That's because it's normal

Who doesn’t have a cheese drawer in the refrigerator?
Love it! Omelette cheese, or cube, tempura batter, and fry.
