Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Mold generally can’t penetrate far into hard and semisoft cheeses, such as cheddar, colby, Parmesan and Swiss. So you can cut away the moldy part and eat the rest of the cheese. Cut off at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) around and below the moldy spot.
Detailed explanation-2: -Plan to eat a bit of cheese every day (so hard, right?) and know the approximate shelf lives for the varieties you buy: 3-7 days for fresh styles, 1-2 weeks for bloomy rinds, 2 weeks for aged types. You can extend that shelf life by keeping cheeses unwrapped in your Grotto and putting it in the fridge.
