  My first 2 Blues looked like yours but I haven't gotten any to blue up like yours since.
I have used-- PR/PV. -- a slurry of the same brand of blue crumbles as I used at first --and a combination of both and still not gotten any growth.   Pete

It's not that then. Conditions sound ideal for mould growth to me.

  The conditions were the same  for all 7 of them.
I am wondering if it is the milk from later in the season.I find it increasingly more difficult to get good curd set as the season goes on.
 The fresh goat milk that I was getting at last would not set up at all. Just something like ricotta But it tasted good when used like ricotta.   Pete
