Saudade, longing of the Portuguese. AMONG the worldâs languages, one of the saddest and hardest terms to translate into English is saudade, the Portuguese word for a yearning for someone, some event or some place that one was fond of, which is gone, but might return in a very distant future.
Obviously the mold that the cheese is made with is safe to eat. But if you notice other mold growing on the cheese, cut it off or throw it out depending on whether itâs hard or soft cheese. Now with breads, you should always throw away the bread when you discover mold on it.
Mold generally can't penetrate far into hard and semisoft cheeses, such as cheddar, Colby, Parmesan and Swiss. So you can cut away the moldy part and eat the rest of the cheese. Cut off at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) around and below the moldy spot. Be sure to keep the knife out of the mold, so it doesn't contaminate other parts of the cheese. Of course, not all molds pose a risk.
