Is it okay to eat moldy cheese?
A week ago I bought Provolone cheese. Normally it lasts me at least two weeks and then just turns hard around the edges. But this time it molded and there are white spots mostly on the edges and on some areas in the middle of the slice. Is it still okay to eat if I cut out the moldy parts? I was planning on melting it by frying it and using it for a recipe. Thanks!

I used to pay "high-dollar" for moldy cheese, aka: Roquefort cheese, which is deliberately made moldy in caves in France, but, somehow I believe the molding process used there is a bit different than the process that got your cheese moldy, so, I'd ditch the stuff and buy new cheese. I can somewhat appreciate "lorenzo's" answer, but, my fear would be that you would be saving some "almost moldy" cheese for your consumption, which might not be much better than the moldy stuff you'd be throwing away, so, my remedy would be to just ditch the stuff and get new cheese, to be safe. God Bless you.

The mold with sour the cheese. Take a spoon and try and remove the moldy portion of the cheese and use the rest. That will be fine.

Its %100 fine. Just slice off the mouldy bits if you don't want to eat them. Cheese is already a controlled mold. Some aged cheeses are hard and or mouldy on purpose. You will be fine!
