I buy this high quality, flavorful parmigiano reggiano in medium size wedges they sell at this posh local grocery chain. If what's left here is still good, I have enough to make pesto. The internets vary widely on how long this stuff lasts, some places saying a month, and other places a year. This is probably about a year old.
The internets also say that you should watch out for darkening of the cheese and mold to determine if it is bad. As you can see here, it's gotten dark. near the rind.
1. What does the darkening mean?
2. Can mold penetrate beneath the surface of a hard cheese like this and spread inside it like it can in bread?
3. Eat it or throw it?
