Question
Hello,
I would like to know how long one should wait after eating yellow cheese before consuming meat, and also regarding salty cheese.
I knew that one should wait half an hour, but recently I heard that one should wait 6 hours.
I would appreciate an answer.
Thank you very much.
Answer
Hello,
After eating yellow cheese, one should wait 6 hours before consuming meat. [Except in cases of a mitzvah or similar, where there is room to be lenient].
After eating salty cheese, there is no need to wait 6 hours. It suffices to rinse and clean the mouth, and some have the custom to wait half an hour after any cheese consumption.
