Assuming that there is just one moldy spot on a block of store-bought paneer?

Question

Is it still good to cook?

Answer 1

yup just grate it off !!! you won't waste much...

besides cheese is a mold u know !

Answer 2

Since Paneer is a quick ripening cheese and the fact that it is a cheese, I don't see the problem with a small spot of mold.  I would just cut off the piece of mold, look it over to make sure there are no more pieces of mold and use as directed in any recipe.

Answer 3

true paneer is a type of cottage cheese ,  it has a shelf life &  it does not have to go mouldy ,something is wrong some where.either it is well passed the date by which it should have been used or has been improperly stored,either way i would not use it,i think the store should hear about it too.

If you are determined to make use of the paneer,cut a slice from each surface & discard ,if the exposed surface shows no sign of mould & it smalles ok ,then give it a try,if the mould has travelled deep then toss it .

Answer 4

i wouldn't eat something with mould on it... it is obviously past it's best and not transported/stored correctly.  mould means bacteria.
