Can you eat moldy cheese ?
Now here is an interesting question, can you eat moldy cheese? Well it depends on the type of cheese and the type of mould that’s on it. You see, soft cheeses such as camembert, Brie, Blue Vein and so forth are mould ripen cheese so it normal for the mould to be present.
On the other hand, cheeses such as cheddar, mozzarella, and parmesan are cheese that is not normal to have moulds. So the question remains, can you eat moldy cheese? Of course you can as long as the mould is limited to a small area and it is removed. You will need to be able to cut away at least a 1 cm chunk under and around the mould because it may have penetrated farther in than you can see.
Always throw any cheese that’s very very moldy. It’s safest to chuck them, as some moulds can produce toxins that can damage your liver, kidneys and immune system.
