  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]

I think most cheese is "moldy". Like isn't sharp cheddar aged with the moldy edges cut off?

I'm not a cheese expert but I'm pretty sure most cheese is aged and has some level of "mold".

I think blue cheese is just special in that the process just results in chunks of pieces that contain the mold from the aging process?

Total speaking out of my ass. Correct me please. This is speculation and a question not an answer.

most cheese is actually curdled (aka spoiled) milk essentially, but doesn't necessarily contain edible mold.
