How Long Can Smoked Gouda Cheese Sit Out?

Smoked Gouda should not be left unrefrigerated for an extended period. 

Like all perishable foods, cheese can spoil if left at room temperature for too long. It's recommended to keep smoked Gouda cheese refrigerated at all times. If you plan to serve it at room temperature, it's best to take it out of the refrigerator shortly before serving. Once the cheese has been sitting out for more than two hours, it's advisable to discard any leftover portions for food safety reasons.
