We had the dreaded refrigerator failure. It was the extra refrigerator in the basement. By the time I found it, the food in the freezer was warm and beginning to have an off smell. I cleaned out the freezer and tossed everything. In the refrigerator compartment I had some packages of cheese - cheddar, provolone, mozzarella, blue cheese, goat cheese etc. They were probably without refrigeration for several days. Are they still good? I know the old general store left cheese on the counter to sell, and I've been told when buying cheese from artisan cheese makers that it doesn't need refrigeration. That little frugal voice in my head keeps whispering that it's fine. What do you think?

How long can you keep cheese at room temperature?

I have a piece of gouda that we bought in Amsterdam on my counter since Aug...
however the important point is it's a whole piece of uncut cheese. What we were told in the cheese is that once it's cut in the refrigerator it goes...hope this helps a bit...btw my cheese sits uncovered in a cool space.
