Do mini cheeses that are coated in wax last longer when not refrigerated?

I'm tired of nuts for short-term non-perishable protein. How long do you think those little cheeses would last outside of a refrigerator?

    All cheeses should be in a refridgerator b/c it can become perishable. Keeping it out can lead to a food bourne illness, which is not good. I say if you want cheese make sure it is either in a refridgerator or on an ice pack.

    Refrigerate all cheese between 35 and 40 °F in its original wrapping until ready to use. It is best to store cheese in a refrigerator drawer so it does not pick up off-flavors from other foods. If cheese is removed from its original packaging, wrap it tightly with plastic film wrap or foil to prevent air pockets. Once cheese is exposed to air, molding and dehydration might occur. To protect cheese from mold it is best to double-wrap cheese and place it in a sealed container after each use. Strong-smelling cheeses, like Limburger, should be well-wrapped and kept in a separate container to prevent odors from transferring to other foods.

    Here is a website about questions with cheese.

    The cheese won't possibly go undesirable yet sure it would desire to get moldy. no count if that's properly sealed by utilising a commercial dairy it possibly might desire to final an rather long term. The use (oftentimes) antimycotics on the floor to stay away from mildew advance and if the seal is physically powerful mildew won't strengthen besides. mildew want oxygen to strengthen so if the seal it tight there will be no mildew advance PhD nutrition Chemistry and meals
