Editor's Note: Here's some more information on moldy cheese.
"Question - Is it healthy to eat moldy cheese?
Some cheese is actually made by introducing mold into it! Some examples are
Roquefort, blue, Gorgonzola, and Stilton cheese. These molds are completely
safe to eat. However, if you have a soft cheese that becomes moldy, it is
best to through it away. If you have a hard cheese that becomes moldy, cut
the mold off an inch around each side. Make sure your knife doesn't touch
the mold. Re-wrap the cheese in a new wrap or container. Eating moldy cheese
can cause allergic reactions or respiratory problems. Some molds even
produce a type of toxin that can make you sick. It is better to be safe than
sorry, don't eat moldy cheese unless it's the safe kind of mold!
