Why does cheese need to be refridgerated?

Answer 1

cheese served at cold temperatures mute the flavour and textures of the cheese.

The aromatic and complex flavors of cheese don't really begin to appear until the cheese is at room temperature. usually takes around half and hour to bring the temps down.

Answer 2

Cheese is usually used without further cooking so if anything is stored above it and if there were a leak in the wrapping, something could contaminate the cheese. Since you normally don't cook the cheese, there would be no heat to safely kill any contamination. A second reason is that cheese doesn't need to be kept very cold and the top of the refrigerator is often a little warmer than the bottom.

Answer 3

If you keep your cheese warm it will melt but if you keep it cold it won't melt. That is why your mom keeps the cheese in the refrigerater. ^_^

Answer 4

Because if not frozen pizza will ruin.

Answer 5

Cheese really doesn't need to be refrigerated. Neither do eggs, butter, or vegetables/fruits. It simply prolongs their freshness with respect to bacteria and mold.
