One of my vacuum-bagged Goudas (made 7 weeks ago, sealed 4 weeks ago) has developed a green spot.  The other vac-sealed cheeses, some of which are older, are still spotless.

Can I ignore the spot if we’re going to eat the cheese in the next couple of weeks? If I do unseal it and cut the bad spot out, can i just dab vinegar or salt on the cut and reseal, or do I need to wait for it to rind over again?

I’d agree with Neil.  Also, I don’t see a problem with resealing in a new bag should you want to let it age longer.
