Title: Blue Cheese Making - Blueing After 30 Days!?
Post by: jims on August 14, 2010, 11:54:41 PM
I just made my first blue cheese (about 30 days ago).  It is just starting to show a little blue.    I am a little afraid to try it or serve it to friends.  Does blue cheese go bad or does the "blue" chase away bad mold?  If it does go bad, how can I tell?

I've only made 1 blue, but by day 8 it was completely covered in blue. How are you storing yours? Do you know if it's pretty humid or not?
