The very short answer is yes and soft cheeses develop mold faster than hard cheeses or processed cheeses. Molds thrive in dark moist climates so a shaded area is ideal for grow mold. But now we have to distinguish between mold we want and mold we don't. The mold that makes a cheese blue, Stilton, Maytag blue, Gorgonzola, Roquefort is no longer a hoped for occurrence but carefully controlled through cultivation of specific molds.

Soft or semi soft cheeses that have a rind like Brie are also carefully inoculated with a specific and perfectly edible mold that protects and ripens the cheese. Bad molds are the ones you didn't want on your sharp cheddar that got shoved to the back of the refrigerator after being opened.

Does mold grow faster on refrigerated or unrefrigerated cheese?

Mold typically grows faster on unrefrigerated cheese compared to refrigerated cheese. Refrigeration slows down the growth of mold by creating a less favorable environment for mold spores to thrive. Proper storage in the refrigerator can help extend the shelf life of cheese and reduce the risk of mold growth.

Does bread mold grow faster than strawberry mold?

No. If you leave cheese out in the warm then mold will grow on it in a few hours. Bread on the other hand would take a couple of day.This is wrong! I did a project and grew mold on cheese and it took a week. Maybe the bacteria will start to form but you will not see it with the naked eye. Also it depends on the cheese, i did mozzarella, but if it was a really soft cheese ... maybe. But defiantly cheese will grow mold faster than Bread.


Which cheese grows mold the faster Mozzarella cheese or Lumberjack cheese?

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.


Why does mold grow on mozzarella cheese faster than cheddar cheese?

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.
