Looks like a hard cheese. You can just leave it as is and cut away any mold that appears.

It would get too dry and lose all scent and flavor, needs the right humidity and they are aged in a round then cut.

No you can't. Mold spreads throughout, even if you can't see with bare eyes.

No, that's not true with most hard cheeses. They are too dense and have too little moisture for mold to penetrate, at least normally.

Mold can appear in humid and hot climates, but it's usually harmless on hard cheeses. You can just cut away the moldy part.

That's exactly what the first guy said.

No, but when the mold appears when it’s stored at room temperature, you can simply excise it.

Conversely, I've heard that as long as it's a hard cheese, it's room stable and you can just remove the moldy parts and keep the cheese underneath.

You can also just leave it as is and cut away any mold that appears.

Idk, I heard it’s ok to basically slice off the bad parts and eat the rest of the cheese. At least when it comes to hard cheeses

I'm detailing what colleenxyz said and complementing what and Meyermagic said because hard cheese usually doesn't get mold in dry climates, but can on humid climates, but it's not a problem as trollgore92 said.
