This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Bad news, I don't think it's mild cheddar anymore

If the wax seal has never been broken and it's been kept in a cool pantry or cellar, I'd 100% eat it.

If you cannot verify either: chuck it.

As best as I can tell, the wax is still has no cracks and it's been stored in the beer fridge this entire time

Open gently, place on a freezer cooled plate and let it breathe for an hour... carve and enjoy.

Be weary of power outages. It might not have been properly stored even if you think it was.

That knee looks a little suspicious.

It absolutely does.

It's not been stored correctly though for aging. It's not even the oldest cheese I've eaten though.
