Well, just because something isn't gone off doesn't mean it can't become even more gone off. There's always a point where it is just too rotten for consumption.
Unless you consider dwarven cheese is just a large mass of fungi and bacterias... hey, that wouldn't be too surprising, actually.

Yogurt.  Your argument is invalid.

It's a delicacy.

Bonus points if you mod that in as a food item.

Hey, I didn't know that existed!
... the idea I had in mind was closer to the abomination that was a month-old noodle'n'turkey meal whose long sleep in the fridge had been interrupted by the opening of its tupperware. The turkey had somehow started to mutate into a small mammal.
Also, I'm never eating mimolette again. Or getting anywhere near any variety of cheese I don't already know. Thanks.

Always remember to brush your cheese to get the tiny burrowing cheese demons off it.

so yeah, cheese shouldnt realy be rottable expect after a fairly long time xP

ie, a few years at least.

i know it would make people just cheese stockpile, but considering the hassle with cancel job: handling dangerous animal spam milking makes, i think its a fair trade off.

Don't worry. I keep going to the fast food for the mystery meat. Mmmmhh, hamburgers of extremely suspicious origin.

Is it possible for cheese, when rotten, to instead turn into a different edible item? And then for the new item it turns into to turn rotten and inedible? Aged cheese can still be edible, but even that can go too far and become hazardous to your health.

Alright, so, you leave your cheese sitting out for a year or two (or just a day or two) and come back to us on that one, alright?

If it were Kraft 'cheese' (disturbingly tastytm), I would not be that surprised it nothing happened to it. With less plasticky cheeses, though, yeah... they can get all fuzzy and stuff (and if you have had that happen, you can definitely smell the miasma).

Since we're talking about food that's rotten.
