To eat, or not to eat?

[meowmensteen]

A few days before Christmas, my sister gave me a bag with wine, cheese, and crackers as a present. I wasn't feeling well, so I put all the cheese in the fridge and set aside the bag for later. Days later I discovered that I missed some of the cheese, and it sat out for three days. Do you still think it's safe to eat? It is Tintern Cheese from

Cheese doesn't really go bad, as far as I know... if anything, it just sweats its fat out and dries out. Or gets moldy, but that usually takes a long time.

Not sure if it's "bad", but I definitely wouldn't eat it.

Just stick it back in the fridge for half a day or so, and it should be fine.
Depending on the cheese, I let it sat out for days on purpose, haha.

BUT YOU'RE FRENCH

I miss French cheese

I think I've built an immunity against any bacteria that can be found on cheese. Well, it's more like we live in harmony.

I miss French cheese too. ;_;
It's overpriced here, so I can't buy a lot. I've had brie and comté last month, I was so happy!

It's a hard cheese, so I'd eat it. Especially since I'm fairly certain that in the UK cheese is pasteurised unless is specifically says otherwise. And Tintern's quite a big operation and sells to supermarkets so I'm confident it would be pasteurised.

I think it's fine. I wouldn't hesitate to eat it myself, to be honest.
