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.

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.
