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.

blue cheese has mold in it never forget

[-] Rooty@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

That's why it's so tasty 🥰

[-] Caketaco@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

okay ❤️

yay ❤️

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Which has always been confusing to me because I thought mold is bad to eat, like poisonous & tummy aches, possibly death

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 month ago

The mold in blue cheese is a very specific one which is created on purpose manually, that is okay to eat.

[-] ulterno@programming.dev 4 points 1 month ago

Maybe just a specific variety of mould that doesn't cause that.

There are 2 varieties of milk bacteria that make curd and yoghurt. Then a few varieties of yeast for bread, beer etc.
Makes sense to be one for cheese.

Why was your comment downvoted? I want to know the truth about edible molds vs inedible molds. What is the truth?

[-] mech@feddit.org 3 points 1 month ago

Some plants and fungi are good to eat, others make you sick.
Same thing with mold.

I use molds to ferment vegetables (think sauerkraut, but with squash, or cauliflower, or fennel, or leek...), to make soda (kombucha, often with apples or blackberry), to bake bread.
Coffee beans are fermented, too. And many other foodstuff.
Bacterias are our best friends. So tasty.

(Molds are funguses, not bacteria)

[-] Decq@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

That's.. The point? I don't really see what you're trying to convey..

[-] iamericandre@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Cheese is mold

[-] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 month ago

The process of making Roquefort start by making a big batch of moldy rye bread, then mixing this bread with milk and let it age like that.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
