Why does Swiss cheese mold faster than cheddar and marblejack?

Answer 1

Many cheeses are made by fermentation with mold spores. Examples include Blue cheese, Brie, Camembert, etc. This mold is good, and defines the cheese. This kind of mold is not bad for you, and is purchased like that.

Cheese grows mold easily because it is rich in nutrients for the mold spores to reproduce and grow rapidly- don't let it get on your other food!

When a cheese ages with toxic or undesirable mold, it usually has a bad odor or taste. Don't eat cheese if it doesn't look like it did when you bought it.

Answer 2

Because it is the whey in the cheese that moulds. Mozzarella has a high whey content and therefore moulds quickly. Also cheddar cheese is acidic which helps kill the bacteria that causes moulding.

Answer 3

because it got alot of oil in it and vinger in it.

Answer 4

Cheddar and marblejack are much thicker and have usually aged for much longer. If you feel Swiss cheese, it is much softer, and like fruits, softer cheeses usually mold faster.

Answer 5

Try it to find out. Keep a log with dates.

Answer 6

Because it has a higher whey content.
