The doubt is legitimate. It is food, and wasting it is always a sin. Furthermore, cheese can be an excellent source of protein (100 g of caciocavallo contains a third more than an equal amount of chicken) and a quality artisanal product. It almost seems that even molds appreciate these characteristics and that is why they are fond of cheese; this is why this food tends to mold so easily.
The choice of whether to throw it away or try to recover it depends on various factors. Of course, you shouldn’t adopt the tasting tactic to decide: some molds are dangerous and it goes without saying that tasting a potentially dangerous food to check if it is edible is absolutely not a good idea. Instead, evaluate what type of cheese it is, how it was stored and how extensive the contamination is; taking these three factors into account will help you understand if you can remove the moldy part or if it is better to throw everything in the garbage. Now we’ll explain why.
