Is cheese allowed in carry on baggage?

Yes, you can carry cheese in carry-on baggage. However, there are some restrictions based on the type of cheese and the country you are traveling from and to.

Soft cheeses (such as brie, camembert, and goat cheese) are prohibited in carry-on baggage. However, hard cheese, such as cheddar, parmesan, and mozzarella are generally permitted.

Additionally, some countries have restrictions on the amount of cheese that can be carried in carry-on baggage. For example, the United States allows up to 20 pounds of cheese per person, while the European Union allows up to 5 kilograms (11 pounds) of cheese per person.

It's also worth noting that some airlines may have their own restrictions on the amount of cheese that can be carried in carry-on baggage, so it's best to check with the airline before you travel.

When packing cheese in your carry-on baggage, be sure to wrap it carefully to prevent it from breaking or leaking. You may also want to consider packing it in a cooler or insulated bag to keep it fresh during your journey.
