It seems to me that unpasteurized cheeses keep better than those that are pasteurized at room temperature. (EU vs US) I was told by a French friend that it is because the "real" (unpasteurized) cheese is live and keeps ripening and basically the good cheese bacteria keeps the bad bacteria from growing. Also that pasteurized cheese is already "dead" so the bad bacteria can gain a foothold much easier so it should be refrigerated.
