Jack cheeses (including monterrey) are softer, less aged cheeses and will mold faster than harder cheeses like cheddar under the same conditions. This is because there is a higher moisture content in jack type cheeses than in harder, more aged cheeses like cheddar.
Pepper Jack, 2nd fastest is cottage, than Kraft.
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.
Natural cheeses get mold much quicker because lack of preservative.
bread, cheese......sorry but that's all i know.
Speeding up mold growth on cheese can be done by increasing the moisture level and temperature where the cheese is stored. You can also introduce mold spores to the cheese by using a piece of moldy cheese or purchasing mold cultures specifically for cheese. Be cautious when encouraging mold growth on cheese, as it can affect the flavor and safety of the cheese if not done properly.
Your purpose is to determine which foods are more susceptible to growing mold.
Swiss cheese generally grows mold faster than American cheese due to its higher moisture content and the presence of larger holes, which create more surface area for mold spores to settle. Additionally, Swiss cheese typically has a more complex microbial environment, promoting faster mold growth. In contrast, American cheese is often processed and has preservatives that inhibit mold development.
No, mold grows on cheese.
So many factors affect that, you would have to do a controlled experiment to find a true answer
When cheese is still in its' liquid state, it can be poured into a mold.
Mold on cheese is a type of fungus, most mold starts out macroscopic then after time become visible to the human eye.
Typically when mold is present on food, you want to throw it away. As a result of the process the food goes through before it is packaged for shipping, processed cheese will grow mold before a processed ham product.
