How long can unopened goat cheese be kept?

The shelf life of unopened goat cheese varies depending on the type and packaging of the cheese. Here are the general guidelines:

- Fresh goat cheese: 1-2 weeks when refrigerated

- Semi-soft goat cheese: 2-3 weeks when refrigerated

- Hard goat cheese: 2-3 months when refrigerated

It's important to always check the "best before" or "expiration" date printed on the packaging for the most accurate information. Keep the goat cheese in its original packaging and tightly sealed to maintain freshness.
