    This is a different thing. It’s because it’s aged as a cheese wheel in controlled conditions, when you buy it, it’s not a wheel anymore, it’s been opened and you buy a wedge, hence it’s open to contamination.

    It’s still unlikely for a 7 year aged cheese to go bad in two weeks unleass you store it unrefrigerated, but if you vacuum seal it, it will last a long time.

      I know with veggies you can ferment them in a jar with the right amount of salt in the water. You just can never let the ones in the jar touch the air or the bad bacteria takes over.
