fuzzy brie
« on: February 24, 2006, 07:51:49 PM »
I am not a brie fan, but I bought some a few weeks ago to remind myself why I don't. I bought brie with blue stilton inside. I put it in a plastic airtight container and haven't opened it since then... and now I see it has white fuzzy bits! I was surprised. Is that what happens to brie when it gets old?  :P

Sounds like it needs a shave! (sorry couldn't resist)

It's usually recommended that you store cheese in the packaging it came in until you need to open it.  Even though it's in an airtight container, even a teeny bit of air could cause it to get a bit fuzzy.  I'm guessing that's probably what happened.

yes, I imagine that was the reason! I ate a little when I opened it and anticipated eating more later... later just  turned out to be a few weeks, oops!

i was quite impressed with my little science experiment. Fuzzy white mold on blue stilton is cool!

I have that happen with any kind of cheese. I always forget that it does that, after it's been opened, no matter how I store it, and I always buy too much. I have thrown away more cheese here than I ever have in my life!! It's annoying really, but I'm buying smaller now, and trying to use it sooner rather than later.
