dumped flour in it. I've never had anything like that - is that normal sometimes, depending on certain factors? It was Buttermilk brand. I hope that's ok to say.) It tastes fine, just a wierd texture.

 
Perhaps you can contact the manufacturer and ask if that's normal for their cheese, unless someone

here can shed light on it.

 
I have a question, maybe dumb but---does bleu cheese go bad? I had some crumbles in a container

at the back of the fridge, and I tossed them---they seemed too "ripe", but maybe they were extra good?

 
I like buttermilk cheeses but find that they tend to be grainy sometimes.

So it might be normal. There is a local cheesemaker that makes a buttermilk 'cheddar' and it's wonderful but grain and has some of the characteristics of good parm.

 
Yes it can go bad like anything

Usually I can tell if it's gone bad because it gets 'slimy' - doesn't look a lot different but feels different. I freeze blue cheese all the time though - both in chunks and crumbles. I buy the big wedge at Costco and keep some in the freezer for quick Buffalo Chicken Dip.

 
OMG, Marilyn!! In a Danny Thomas moment I now have coffee all over my monitor! Thanks a lot!
