Can I eat out of date Stilton?

[BloodyCats]

I have some Stilton in the fridge that says use by dec 25. It’s been kept in a Tupperware container and smells no worse than your average stilton block.
Should I eat it?

Yes!

Yes

I would and have many times. I’m still here 😊

I would, and have!

Yes

As long as it's not gone mouldy.

I have eaten Stilton much much older than a week. Really 😋

Of course! I ate some unopened bacon today that was, ahem, very out of date but it was still pink and smelt fine. I'm still alive. So far.

If it looks and smells ok, it’ll be absolutely fine. I used up the last of our Xmas Stilton today in a broccoli and Stilton soup. Delish!

It only gets better with age

You can also Google 👍🏻

Yes

Or make a blue cheese dip

I know I can google but I like asking people. Isn’t that what forums are for?
Don’t click if you don’t like the subject.

Yes!

Great, going to make a soup tomorrow 😋

As long as you aren't pregnant, yes. Cooking with it is even safer.

Considering it's probably been maturing for 30 years - I think it'll be ok.

it gets better with age!

You've reminded me I've got 3 Goo cheesecakes in the fridge that MUST be eaten tonight They are dated 27th December.

I keep most cheese past their date. Brie really needs at least 2 weeks on top

I wouldn't because I am neurotic about out if date food since I had food poisoning who h was horrible. But I bet it is fine because by its nature cheese has mould in it and I think most people without my hang ups would eat it

gets better with age

Yep! Well aged blue cheese = food of the Gods
