Can you substitute provolone or feta cheese for Swiss cheese?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the dish you are making. In many situations, Provolone could be used as a substitute for Swiss; although the flavor is different, it slices and melts similarly to Swiss. It's difficult to think of any way that Feta could be a good substitute for Swiss.

Will bottled feta cheese go bad if not refrigerated?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The information I uncovered says yes you do have to refrigerate cheese in oil after it's open. Place the sliced pieces of cheese into a glass jar, cover with a neutral oil like sunflower if you are doing this yourself with a wheel of cheese. Then wax paper and a rubber band for the top. If you are buying cheese already in oil, make sure the top is replaced with the wax paper and rubber band once the seal is broken.

Is it safe to eat feta cheese that is older than 6 weeks?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Probably not. Feta cheese is a soft cheese, which means there is a relatively high level of water activity in the final product. This high water activity means that there should be enough water in the product for some bacteria to grow. Over the course of one year, the bacteria in the cheese and any bacteria that may have contaminated the cheese would have had plenty of time to multiply to dangerous levels.
