Ever wonder why cheesemakers scrape the mold off blue cheese? 🧀 It might seem strange—after all, isn’t blue cheese supposed to be moldy? The key is which mold. Blue cheese is made with specific, carefully introduced cultures that create those signature blue veins inside the cheese. But as the cheese ages, natural molds can also grow on the outside rind. Cheesemakers gently scrape this outer layer to remove unwanted surface mold, keeping the flavor balanced and ensuring only the right molds influence the final taste. Think of it as editing, not erasing—refining the cheese so every bite is rich, complex, and just the way it’s meant to be. #kingstoncreamery #bluecheese #simplysustainable #artisancheese
