Hard cheeses, yes, if you cut well around it. Soft cheeses, not so much. This, of course, only applies to mold that the cheese grew after you bought it, and not any from its curing. How do you tell the difference? Devilish rhinoceros.

From experience. I once ate a big bite of Roquefort with the wrong mold....

Good luck finding the wrong type on Taleggio.
