Take the 2-minute tour ×  I had chunks of various hard cheeses,
mostly parmesan, in my refrigerator for varying lengths of time.
Some as long as 3+ months.  I've never seen any obvious signs of
spoilage and have never been struck down by food poisoning after
using said cheese. But my wife is very suspicious when using any
food that has been in the fridge for longer than a week.  Is
there a generally accepted length of time to keep these types of
hard cheese?  share|improve this question Posting as a comment
because it isn't authoritative enough for an answer: My
experience jives with yours. I buy big chunks of parmesan that
last me 4-6 months. In that time they get hard and dry but never
have I had any problems with mold or spoilage. They just have
too much salt and no water to spoil. –  Sobachatina Oct 14 '10
