Hi,
I have a package of extra sharp cheddar in my fridge that has been sitting there a while. It's Cabot Vermont Cheddar, Seriously Sharp. It's got a use-by sell-by date of 12/14.
I was under the impression that cheese doesn't really go "bad," but that it can mold. The package is still sealed, and it's translucent. There doesn't appear to be any mold inside. If I open it, and there is no mold, it should be safe to eat, shouldn't it?
Thanks!
Regina
