Unpasteurised cheese

[SandwichShortOfAPicnic]

Mod edit: new post on unpasteurised cheese KKA. Will you eat it or not?

SOOOOO the £25 I spent on the Stitchleton stilton arrived with a ‘Food must be delivered today’ label on it which my son clearly missed and put it on the floor with the other parcels near a radiator

So what do I do? It’s not actually warm but it’s defo room temp.
I also don’t know when it was delivered AND it’s unpasteurised so I’m thinking it should probably go in the bin

Make your son eat it, or practice reading labels. No repercussion = no lesson...

(Send him back to school.)

Probably ok IMO. If in doubt use in a cooked dish. It's Stilton by any other name.

I'm not a cheese eater
Normally I would say: go by smell.
But then all cheese woulld end up in the bin
If I would be a cheese eater, I would probably just eat it. I would not give it to pregnant women and immuno deficient people though.
Otherwise, like karadekoolaid said... Cook or fry it

It is Stilton yes but the food poisoning risk from unpasteurised dairy is much higher so I think I’ll skip it.
Cheese guts are bad enough but cheese guts with a nice bit of listeria or salmonella or campylobacter accompanying it, no I think I’ll skip it

Fair enough!
Send it this way - standard Stilton is $25 a pound/450g at wholefoods, the only outlet in town

Imagine the smell by the time it arrived

I went back online to order some more (if I’m going to give myself cheese guts then Im doing it with the good stuff) and they’re sold out for Christmas

Listeria is killed by heat. It's mainly an issue from eating uncooked or stored fresh food. Put it in a cooked dish. Post pasteurisation.
In any case one of the producers is the Neals Yard guy. I'm sure they test all the milk before and after making the cheese. Their reputation depends on it.

Yer appreciate all that but basically I don’t want to cook it.
I eat Stilton just once a year due to the terrible GI issues it causes for all of us.

So that one occasion is sacred and not to be wasted on cooked cheese. It’s to be savoured in its raw state with quince jam and a glass of wine.
If I made something containing Stilton no-one would want to eat it, would be a waste of my time and a waste of the other ingredients.

Nice idea though.

It wouldn't sit in customs long then

No, don't chuck it out; it's full of penicillin. Blue cheese is very, very forgiving. Just stick it in the fridge and enjoy it.
