I figure the one just sat around for longer, as I've had extra blue-y cheese develop in my own fridge. Just never seen such a striking difference at the store, which I found mildly interesting.

A hand holding two packages of blue cheese in front of a grocery store shelf, one cheese has no visible spots of blue mold, while the other is covered in spots.

Don't buy it!!! I just grabbed (from grocery outlet) that wisconson mild blue you are holding as my s/o hates blue and I figured she could ease into it... it's disgusting!! It tastes like a mausoleum smells and turns to powder in your mouth, 0/10, do not recommend!!

Ah geeze good to know. I've already got a couple kinds of blue so didn't buy this, but thanks for the warning.

I didn't like blue cheese and my mother tried to fase me into it a few times with mild blue cheeses. Didn't work. One day a guy gave me a cube of Stilton - Colston Basset, if I recall right - and my mind was blown. The taste was strong but so good that itvsomehow clicked. Blue cheese is something difficult. I find average blue cheese awful.
