I know it's technically fine to eat. But most people probably wouldn't, at least not for its originally intended use(sandwiches). Once cheese gets warm, it's never quite the same again.. even if you re-chill it. The oils sweat out of it, and it gets all weird and crumbly when made cold again.

Stop buying lousy processed cheese. Good cheese never sweats oil out at room temperature.

Huh... Really?

It's Tillamook cheese. It's good cheese...

Tillamook is OK as US Government Surplus cheese is OK but, to each his own. Here's a tip to make your cheese last longer, Every time you cut a piece from the block, although a 8oz piece is pretty much a one use chunk. wrap the remainder in a new piece of plastic wrap. The cheese will last twice as long without molding.

Wow, now I've discovered another type of food snob. :disgust:

Connoisseur. One who can detect and appreciate subtleties is not necessarily a snob. Read up on it. Embrace it. Although, you might not be satisfied shopping at walmart after...

Extra sharp cheddar cheese is a staple for me. For convenience, I course shred an 8oz block and put it in a container that has a 'good' seal. It's easily available for burritos, sandwiches and other dishes. I never let it sit out - I take it out of the fridge, use it and immediately return it. After a couple of weeks it might start to smell a little but it usually doesn't last that long.

By shredding it you massively increase it's surface area exposure to air. Don't do that.

Yes, but it's very convenient and it rarely goes bad. It's well worth it. Of course, making food easily available is sometimes not a good idea.

you could just shred up cheese off the block when you need cheese.

True, and that's what I did for a while but I'm lazy and like to make the least amount of dishes possible. I can make a sandwich with no silverware...

I also shred lettuce and slice and dice tomatoes and onions (vidalia) in advance. The lettuce has the least shelf-life but a little brown doesn't freak me out and one of the dogs loves it believe it or not. One good thing about the southeast u.s. is pretty good produce year-round. I also cut up carrots, broccoli and cauliflower for convenience. If it's easy to access, I'll snack on it since fresh veggies are much better than potato chips, etc.

Seriously. I pre-shred cheese all the time. I buy large blocks at Costco, then shred enough to fill a small ziploc container. Cheese block gets wrapped up and I only have to wash the shredder once a week instead of once or twice a day.

Same thing goes with many fruits and veggies. A little lemon juice or pectin on some apple slices and they are good for a week or so.

i'd say it's fine. isn't cheese supposed to be served at room temperature anyway?

Sorry, I can't remember the last time I've been to walmart and I've absolutely never gone to go grocery shopping.

Yes, crapping on quality products and putting down people who don't take a crap with you, makes you a snob. We all don't want to spend the time and money researching the absolute best cheese, coffee, wine, or whatever.
