It depends on the cheese, sometime the mold is the cheese.

Like Roquefort, it literally use moldy bread as a starter.

The process of making Roquefort starts by adding mold on rye bread, let the mold develop before blending the bread and mixing it into the raw milk.

I'm talking the cheddar that's been in the fridge too long and has some spots on one end. I just cut off a generous portion and still eat it anyway unless the cheese itself tastes badly of mold
