eli5, how does cheese bread not go bad??

Question

If you leave cheese at room temperature for too long it will go bad. But why can they leave bread baked with cheese in or on top of it tosit on the shelf at the store for days and it’s still fine to eat?

It kind of depends on the cheese. Fresh cheeses don’t do great at room temperature without controlling moisture and salt content. But aged cheeses are usually just fine the will often dry out well before they ‘go bad’.
