I had unopened block cheese in my fridge for 8 months is it still good?
Mold is usually the first sign of degradation.
I just cut that stuff off.
Listeria tends to hit softer cheeses, but there's always a danger.
If it's not moldy, not Brie or similar, I'd eat it. I've eaten 2 year old fridge cheese before, and not died. But as with all matters involving health, you're on your own, and the question is really outside the purview of this stack.
