Swelling Cheddar - Propionic bacteria Infection

[Jaspar]

Hi All,
  I've had good luck making chedder. that being said I've got a wheel 4.8 lbs in my cave (dorm frig) after about a month it blew up like a basketball.
The wax cracked alot. Well i decided to let it go another month. When i cut it there was a little blue mold here and there, no problem, salt and vinagar
took care of that. Well now to my concern, it smells and taste like the strongest swiss cheese i've ever had. Is it safe to eat or should it find its way to the compost pile?

You had a propionic contamination. Should be safe - age 60-90 days if paranoid.
