And as for all new members, let me suggest you take the tour and visit our help center to learn more about the site. Looking forward to more contributions from you! I've also used the cheese for longer and although it still seems to be safe assuming it's the Kraft cheese, with a ton of preservatives , but develops a very distinctive off-flavour after a long enough time.
I don't think it's rancidity, or even mold, it just tastes like cardboard. Daniel S Daniel S 1. Sorry to bring this answer back from the dead, but I just had to check: are you still alive? DonEros DonEros 1.

We want to break this out into two parts and keep it as simple as possible. We will discuss first fresh parmesan and then grated sprinkle parmesan to keep the details separate for you and yet answer this question from every angle as well.
It is important that you refrigerate fresh parmesan cheese. While you can leave it at room temperature, it will last much longer if you keep it refrigerated. This is a hard cheese and hard cheeses can typically survive not being refrigerated just fine for a couple of weeks.
However, they tend to keep better and last longer if they are refrigerated. If you store your fresh parmesan cheese in the fridge, you might be able to enjoy it for up to 8 weeks. However, if you store it at room temperature, you might only get 2 weeks out of it, depending upon where and how you have it stored. If you decide to store it at room temperature, be sure that it is wrapped up tightly and store it in a cool, dry place. If the fresh cheese is still unopened in the original packaging, it might last weeks at room temperature but it will last more like 6 months in the refrigerator.
Go ahead and refrigerate for the best shelf life possible. Grated sprinkle parmesan cheese is a whole different type of product. This cheese has been processed and is totally different.
Off the shelf, if your parmesan cheese is unopened, you can store it in your pantry for up to a year. However, once you pop the seal and open up the cheese, you should plan to store it in the refrigerator. Storing it in the refrigerator keeps it fresh and preserves it much better. If you choose to store it at room temperature, keep it in a cool, dry place. If you store it in the refrigerator or freezer, you will be able to use it for so much longer and it will have less possibility of going bad as well.
We have some helpful tips and information for understanding when parmesan cheese has potentially gone bad. The tips we have to share are true of both grated sprinkle parmesan and fresh parmesan cheese.
These tips are simple and effective and a great way to gauge whether or not it might be time to toss out that cheese. One telltale sign is mold. If you notice mold on a block of parmesan, you can remove the portion with mold and keep the remaining portions.
Next, you can look for discoloration. The precise answer to that question depends to a large extent on storage conditions - to maximize the shelf life of opened grated Parmesan cheese, keep it in the refrigerator. How long does opened grated Parmesan cheese last in the refrigerator?
Grated Parmesan cheese that was sold unrefrigerated will generally stay at best quality for about 10 to 12 months in the refrigerator after it has been opened. To further extend the shelf life of opened grated Parmesan cheese, freeze it: to freeze, place grated Parmesan cheese in covered airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags.
Once you open the package, use the cheese within 3 to 5 days for best quality, and maybe up to 7 days for an okay quality. It usually lasts about a year, or even more. That parmesan always comes with a best-by date, and you can easily assume that it will keep at least a month past that date.
Once you open the package, keep the canister in the fridge. It should last at least a couple of months, but check the label to make sure. Usually, when cheese goes bad, it is easy to see the mold spots.
With hard cheeses like Parmesan, the mold spots can be removed , and you can eat the rest. When grated, Parmesan is white to beige in color. If you are wondering if your grated cheese has spoiled, open the container and check the color and smell. Parmesan going bad will smell funny, and the color will look different. Instead of looking white or beige, the color of the cheese will be more of a yellow or darker beige.
