Anything dairy that involves microbes, is just a mystery; Yogurt, for example, I've consumed over 3 months past best before (I know BB dates are mandated by the respective country's departments and not always indicative of ACTUAL expiry) and Sour Cream, up to 6 months. Of course, the mould gets removed before I consume it, but my family has been consuming dairy past BB date my entire life and we've had no issues.
You know you can leave hard cheese out of the fridge for 2 months (60 days) and it won't spoil? Needs to be vacuumed-packed though, otherwise mould WILL get to it and fast. Last year, our real estate agent friend of the family, gave us a Christmas basket on Nov. 30th and on Christmas morning, we undo the plastic/cellophane and lo and behold, white Balderson extra old cheese. I immediately look up if it's safe and yes, within 60 days, it's good!

Tasted awesome and we enjoyed every crumb.
