Don't know, would need to study it. I would eat it, yes. There's this stigma about eating mold, because moldy food is considered as ruined. But the reality is that there's mold present in a lot of food. We just can't see it most of the time. Almost always, it's harmless. And when it isn't, the consequences are not quite as dire as they are with bacterial pathogens. And with cheese, the likelihood of ingesting something dangerous in the rind of an aged cheese is tiny. It's much more common to taste something that is no palatable (bitter, astringent, etc)
