The trick lies in the key in of smell they give off.
Cheese can stay edible for a long time, but nothing lasts forever.
They can start to rot just like anything else.
But how can you tell if its bad if it already stinks?
If the smell is okay, but some mold is visible,its not necessarily inedible.
Enjoy your stinky cheeses, but see to it youre getting the right kind of stink.
