Anecdotally, cheese can often be kept out for a very long time; it mostly just gets slimy. I often take cheddar camping in warm weather for a day or two without issue, or even more days if it's packaged string cheese. Of course your mileage may vary.
- InitialLastName 6y agoCheese developed as a way to preserve calories such that they last a long time (also, is already effectively mold). If you don't mind a bit of continued growth, it can be stable for a long time. Source: I've taken blocks of cheese on multi-week camping trips with no issues. Wrap and seal them well, cut off the newly blue bits if you aren't comfortable eating them them, you'll probably be fine.
