Loved and feared? Blue cheese is a weird, yet successful, meeting point for creamy but stinky.
Though blue cheeses start off like all other cheeses, they get an extra injection of the right kind of mold halfway through, and are pricked all over with needles to provide little oxygen highways for the mold to develop.
Their ageing time varies, but they become extra sharp 'n' salty due to the moisture loss and added salt for preservation.
Yeah they can look and smell a bit funky, but also taste amazing?
