Many foods we purchase for storage have sell by dates. We do our best to keep an eye on these and make sure we don’t consume foods, which pass this specific deadline. One of the key factors to spotting bad food is it’s smell. If it smells rotten, or stronger than usual, it usually means it’s ready for the bin.
But what about cheese? You open your fridge to be hit with an incredibly strong aroma, which dominates any other. Do you put on breathing apparatus and immediately throw it out? Of course you don’t. Why? Because that’s the sign of a good tasting and well matured cheese.
