Question about aging blue cheese

[tolennaki]

Hi, I am a beginner in cheesemaking and I made my first blue cheese two weeks ago. I am getting conflicted information on whether I should leave my cheese to age undisturbed or whether I should rub it and wash with brine every week or couple of weeks. After the first week, it started developing blue and white mould (the blue being more prominent) but this being blue cheese I am not sure if this is the good or bad kind of mould. How do you look after your blue cheese as it ages?

Here's a picture of the one in my cave. I would never wash the mold off of blue cheese.  That's what makes it good!!

Hi Tolennaki,
Could you share some photos of your first cheese? I have just done my first tries as well. Check out "Notchy" on this forum.

Thanks both, I will leave it in peace then! I'll try to take some photos later.
