What Is Cheese Sweat?
Cheese sweat refers to the moisture that is expelled from cheese when it is left at room temperature or subjected to changes in temperature. As cheese ages, it releases moisture, which then accumulates on the surface of the cheese, creating a moist sheen or pool of liquid. This can cause the cheese to become softer and develop a stronger flavor. Although cheese sweat may be considered unappetizing, it is a natural part of cheese production and is a sign that the cheese is maturing properly.
