I know some people have complained about mold. you can't have preservative free, additive free and not have a downside. just be cognizant of what you are using and the expiration date.

Cheese doesn't melt when trying to cook with it (like making a white sauce). When sprinkled over food then it's ok. The taste is bland though. The "canister" parmesan cheese tastes better than this.

Hazardous cheese - do not buy! Went bad in the refrigerator well before It's expiration date (by months). One member of our family fell ill after eating it.

This parmesan shred is really dry and gets worse when you try to melt/brown it. Thats a lot of poor quality cheese to try and use up. Will go back to solid and grate as needed in the future

Purchased a container, exp date is 11/08/2020- over 4 months from purchase. Opened and used one day, two days later, entire container was filled with mold. Disgusting! Will not buy again!

I usually buy this every few months, but the last two times the cheese has had mold in the center. I have been buying this cheese for over five years now

I'm so sick of buying this cheese and throwing half of it away because it molds 2 months early. I'll start returning the moldy cheese and trading for fresh until Sams figures this out.

My first purchase of this item was very disappointing. Two days after purchasing the product, I opened the container and the cheese was very moldy in the center of the container. I had it in the refrigerator so I feel it was bad when I purchased it. I have never tried again due to this experience.

This cheese is excellent except that it molds months before you get near the expiration date. We follow all of the suggested hygiene guidelines but we find pockets of mold in the middle of the jar. That can not be from external contamination. That has to be present upon purchase. We end up throwing away 3/4 of the jar. We will not purchase this again.

We buy this cheese at least a few times a month. I've had it go moldy after a few weeks in the fridge before, but if I know i won't use a bunch, I put it in the freezer. Any shredded cheese that's open for weeks will go moldy. It still works perfectly out of the freezer.
