I bought this with a January 10th sell by date. I just unwrapped it and it smells of ammonia. Is this still good, or should I try again next year?

I bet there’s something in the very middle worth saving.
A whiff of ammonia is natural especially if the cheese is plastic wrapped; but if it’s super ammonia-y or persistent after an hour, time to chuck.
Still good!! She’s a stinky lady.
Why on earth was it cut in half?
I have no idea. The cheese monger at Hy-vee near me is usually very good. It seems like this was an attempt to get the cheese to sell faster, as the sell by date approached. Would cutting it speed up spoilage?
Looks like it. I can smell it from here.
French here, in your place I would roughly cut the ugliest pieces and eat the rest without any shame
