Keep it in mint condition (and colour) at this point. :)

If the wax seal has never been broken and it's been kept in a cool pantry or cellar, I'd 100% eat it.

If you cannot verify either: chuck it.

At this point I think it can be considered an heirloom

As best as I can tell, the wax is still has no cracks and it's been stored in the beer fridge this entire time

My assumption from the coloring was a football player.

When a friend's parents passed away, he came over to start packing up their house. He found tartar sauce that could vote and little onyx-like bricks of partially consumed cream cheese in the fridge. The spice rack contained Owl Spices which were donated to the state historical society.

I remember getting into such a heated argument with a dumbass on early lemmy about moldy bread and cheese.

it got so heated that I was issued a temporary ban for telling them to go ahead and eat a moldy cheese sandwich and die from food poisoning.

some people just want to prove they're "tough" by risking their lives for the dumbest shit.

Think of what cheese is.

"I milked this cow, and now the milk has become full of bacteria, smells gross, and has solidified.......but I think I'm going to eat it."

What I mean is that you have no idea what bacteria is in that cheese or if the beer fridge was constantly refrigerated. If it doesn’t kill you it could still lead to an unpleasant ER visit. Not worth it over $10-20 worth of cheese.

Open gently, place on a freezer cooled plate and let it breathe for an hour... carve and enjoy.

Moldy bread? Nah.

Moldy hard cheese? Just generously cut off the mold and it's fine*

*I wouldn't feed this to anyone else, but I'd eat it, and do all the time

EDIT: the USDA agrees that moldy hard cheese is safe to eat https://ask.usda.gov/s/article/If-food-has-mold-is-it-safe-to-eat

For hard cheese, such as Cheddar, cut off at least 1-inch around and below the mold spot (keep the knife out of the mold itself). After trimming off the mold, the remaining cheese should be safe to eat.

Start producing smarter cheese. Give it two cells, it may vote independent.

Hey, I've got plenty of culture. Proper gaming culture - that is, tabletop, board, and single player video gaming, not online competitive bullshit that's played by the kind of people who used to torment real gamers before the current era of FIFA, COD, MOBAs, and multiplayer in general.
