This 28-year-old slab of cheddar cheese is among the cheese purchased by Wisconsin Cheese Mart from Ed Zahn in Oconto. The cheese, along with 40-year and 34-year cheddar, will go on sale Oct. 6. Zahn had overlooked the aged cheese for years in his walk-in cooler.
Mmmmm ... beer, brats and cheddar cheese.
Okay...since a lot of cheese experts are going to read this, perhaps one of you can tell me: How do you know when Roquefort cheese goes bad?
I’m now going to look on the bottom shelf way in the back of the refrigerator to see if that block of cheese is still there
Ummmm ... when it gets moldy?
Everyone here knows that real cheddar cheese isn’t naturally orange, right?
It's not much of a cheese *shop*,is it?
There's an Australian cheddar they sell around here that claims 7 years, but it's not consistent from wheel to wheel, so we don't get it that often. Since everyone here has a lactose problem we love the aged cheddars ~ minimum 9 months!
Goat's milk and mare's milk cheddars are also locally available and I pick up half pound blocks several times a year.
Wow! Just in time for the Democrat convention! Joe Biden thinks Cheez Whiz is a urine sample.
Looks like Velveeta.
Aah, how about Cheddar?
Well, we don’t get much call for it around here, sir.
Not much ca—It’s the single most popular cheese in the world!
Not ‘round here, sir.
A good, aged sharp cheddar has always been my favorite. But I gotta admit, a slice of parmesan reggiano cut from the wheel is a close second!!
A former housemate had blue cheese go bad. (Answer: That’s when it gets hairy.) On throwing it away, another housemate declared: “Strike Three; you go bad three times, you’re out.)
(If you don’t get it, Milk goes bad and becomes cheese. Cheese goes bad and becomes blue cheese...)
If you're going to talk about her, you should ping her.
I always suspected those expiration dates meant nothing.
You mean West Country Farmhouse Cheddar? Because otherwise its real cheddar regardless of food dyes.
How come we never hear about a gun shop owner who cleaned out the back room and found a few cases of pre-ban Thompsons?
I’d settle for that bike shop that finally found some fool (me) to take that old Vincent that they got around to un crating off their hands.
