Cheese can usually be kept for 4 to 12 weeks beyond the expiry date if well refrigerated.
I only recommend being very careful with raw milk products.
Just stick to these 3 points:
Look, smell and taste.
And if in doubt, dispose of it.
It is more critical with cooked pasta, as you can get very sick very quickly, so it is better to dispose of it immediately if in doubt.

Should be totally fine.

Absolutely fine.
Most, if not all, milk products are fine way after their best before date if kept properly and unopened.
That includes milk, yoghurt, desserts, cheese, cream, butter, etc.
We’ve come a long way these last couple decades 🙂

Hard paste cheeses are pretty much imperishable. If there is mold you can simply scrap it away.

When I see discounted prices on cheeses close to expiry dates I laugh my way to the cashier and keep it even longer in my fridge, never been sick. The only cheeses I wouldn’t eat are the one that get the fuzzy mold on them after you forget them for too long.

The cheese in question is likely over 1 year old already. The older, the saltier and drier.

yep, check if there is any greenish mold (if there’s only white crust, that’s probably salt)
even if there is greenish stuff, you could cut of the outside on all side (~1mm+) and it would be fine,
you just don’t want the side products of the mold growing because of the water on the outside.

If there is no obvious mould on the cheese it’s good to eat.

Most expiration dates are usually for regulators, not for consumers.

Cheese never expires, it actually gets more valuable over time.

Yes, it’s fine. If the taste or smell is very off you can throw it away.

I always see the food expiry date as the moment a manufacturer no longer has responsibility on your health should you consume it.

Refrigerated hard or semi-hard cheese, and the package has never been opened?
It will still be good after several months.

Of course! it only gets better with time

I would not take that risk
