Mold requires moisture to thrive. It also requires a specific pH to grow at all.
Mozzarella contains more moisture, and is less acidic than cheddar.
yes it does
Ummmmm................................. i didn't know cheese grew!!!
Difference in ingredients
Mold grows on cheddar cheese because mold needs moisture to grow.
The temperature is more of a factor than light.
Lumberjack cheese tends to grow mold faster than mozzarella cheese due to its higher moisture content and fat levels. Mozzarella is typically a fresher cheese with a lower pH, which can inhibit mold growth. Additionally, the aging process of Lumberjack cheese makes it more susceptible to mold development. Therefore, under similar conditions, Lumberjack cheese would likely show mold growth more quickly.
Mold tends to grow faster on Swiss cheese compared to mild cheddar because Swiss cheese has a higher moisture content and less acidity, creating a more favorable environment for mold growth. Additionally, the presence of smaller holes in Swiss cheese provides more surface area for mold spores to settle and thrive.
It starts growing on the corners when cheese is exposed to air
it all depends on when the cheese was actually made, and when it was packaged… also if either have been handled improperly or outside of a sanitized environment. if every variable was removed and there was no margin of error, then the pepper jack would most likely mold faster since it contains small pieces of jalapeno.
Moisture does play a great part in cheese preserving, but it also depends on how you are storing it.
That depends on how it is stored.
Bleu cheese is already molded.
