Frequently Asked Questions About Mold-ripened village cheese
Is mold-ripened village cheese safe to eat?
Yes, mold-ripened village cheese is generally safe when the mold is part of its proper production and the cheese has been handled safely. Discard it if it develops an unusual new mold growth, a markedly unpleasant smell, or other signs of spoilage.
What does mold-ripened village cheese taste like?
Mold-ripened village cheese usually has a savory, tangy flavor and a pronounced aroma. Its texture and intensity vary with the milk, salting, and aging method, so one producer’s cheese may be much milder or firmer than another’s.
How is mold-ripened village cheese made?
Mold-ripened village cheese is made by coagulating milk, draining the curds, salting them, and allowing the cheese to mature. The type of milk, mold development, and aging conditions vary by producer and local tradition.
How should you store mold-ripened village cheese after opening?
Keep mold-ripened village cheese refrigerated in a sealed container after opening. This helps prevent it from drying out and stops its strong aroma spreading to other foods; follow the package’s storage instructions for that particular cheese.
Can you cook with mold-ripened village cheese?
Yes, mold-ripened village cheese can be crumbled into omelets, savory pastries, or warm dishes. Its flavor remains pronounced after heating, so start with a small amount and reduce added salt if the cheese tastes salty.
Can you eat the rind of mold-ripened village cheese?

How is mold-ripened village cheese different from blue cheese?

Can you freeze mold-ripened village cheese?
