Storage Time
Best enjoyed within 2-3 weeks of opening when refrigerated, though it can last longer if carefully wrapped. Freezing is not recommended for optimal texture and flavor.
Temperature
Always store Roquefort cheese in the refrigerator, ideally between 2-7°C (35-45°F), to maintain its delicate texture and prevent premature spoilage.
Signs of Spoilage
- Unpleasant, ammoniated smell, distinct from its usual pungent aroma.
- Slimy or sticky texture on the surface.
- Visible mold growth that is not the characteristic blue-green veins, or a fuzzy white mold appearing.
