Found this in between the rind and cheese part of my beer cheese. Is it okay and is the cheese safe to eat? Tastes fine, but the yellowy skin tastes inedible. by theechosystem07 Cheese
burnerphone95800 on December 3, 2023 2:37 am The nose knows. If there’s no slime, it should be fine, When it doubt, throw it out.

scalectrix on December 3, 2023 7:49 am I don’t know, I can’t inspect it, smell it, or taste it. But you can, so do those things.
PooleyX on December 3, 2023 9:27 am Not sure what that specific cheese is, but it looks similar to edam. Personally, I love that darker orange skin between the cheese and wax.
drgrabbo on December 3, 2023 11:55 am That’s edam, the yellowy stuff is the skin, you can eat it if you want. I like it, but it’s not for everyone.
Any_Try8376 on December 3, 2023 6:24 pm Lots of waxed rind cheeses are double layered, one clear coat and then one colored coat. I suspect itās just that clear wax coating!

No you should package it up & sent it to me for proper disposal
