Best Answer

The length of time a cheese can keep in your refrigerator will depend upon the packaging, previous handling and the type of cheese. Soft or fresh cheeses will not keep as long as aged and hard cheeses.

Deli sliced cheese will be at their best only a few days. Unopened containers of commercially packaged cheeses should last through the date on the package. Once opened, all bets are off and it should probably be used within a week or two - the sooner, the better.
