The difference is preservatives, which can greatly extend the shelf life of mass-produced bread. But you also play a role in how long bread survives in your kitchen.
 
“In order to lengthen the shelf-life of bread it should be stored in a reasonably air-tight container,” recommends Ira Allen, a spokesperson for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Humidity will also create a prime environment for bread to mold, so try to store bread in a dry place if possible.

Basically bread is processed using yeast as leavening agent. In this process, yeast release amylase to degrade starch into sugar unit which preserve its life. Though bread contains higher amount of moisture so its shelf life is too short.

Try to consume the bread within a short period as your snacks . Bread is too essay source of digestible  carbohydrate in our system so use everyday for health benefit.

Cheese - a delicious milk protein having strong health benefits.
Basically , we used to consume only cottage cheese in Bangladesh. It has good shelf life due higher content of Sodium Chloride mix as preservative during processing.
Beside this, Processed cheese or mozzarella cheese  are short life products due to its technology.
As a result we can take these two common cheese using  from normal freeze.

Mozzarella Cheese, and Blue cheese are the best quality cheese.

Food is life and the opposite word can be possible. Food is the cause of death when it became bad. We should be conscious about the issue.
