Blue cheese
Blue cheese, known in French as bleu ("blue"), is a general classification of cow's milk, sheep's milk, or goat's milk
cheeses that has had
Penicillium cultures added so that the final product is spotted or veined throughout with blue or blue-green
mold. Some blue cheeses are injected with spores before the curds form and others have spores mixed in with the curds after they form. Blue cheeses are typically aged in a temperature-controlled environment such as a
cave.
