By mold, do you mean "blue mold"?  Because 2 1/2 weeks is certainly not too early to see growth of the P. roqueforti. 


Here is a picture of some Shropshire Blue I made.  This pic was taken on day 5 after unmolding.

The following is a shropshire blue I cut recently, after about 6 months aging.  For reasons unknown, the annatto did not turn it yellow as planned.  I posted this elsewhere on this forum as a gorgonzola, but that was incorrect.
