Best Answer

Dairy foods generally contain a great mix of nutrients which allow microbes to multiply quickly. E.g milk, cream and soft cheese are mixtures of water, milk sugars, fats and micronutrients which is a great combination for growing mold.

However, when you take the water out of a dairy product (such as in the case of hard cheeses such as Cheddar, Parmesan etc...) it will last significantly longer; microbes require water to grow.
