Same brand of cheese, very blue vs. barely blue

Don't buy it!!! I just grabbed (from grocery outlet) that wisconson mild blue you are holding as my s/o hates blue and I figured she could ease into it... it's disgusting!! It tastes like a mausoleum smells and turns to powder in your mouth, 0/10, do not recommend!!

As a blue cheese hater, thanks for this one
thrawn21@lemmy.world · 27 pts · 242d
Ah geeze good to know. I've already got a couple kinds of blue so didn't buy this, but thanks for the warning.

I didn't like blue cheese and my mother tried to fase me into it a few times with mild blue cheeses. Didn't work. One day a guy gave me a cube of Stilton - Colston Basset, if I recall right - and my mind was blown. The taste was strong but so good that itvsomehow clicked. Blue cheese is something difficult. I find average blue cheese awful.

I'l grab a wedge, but I'm blaming you if she hates it! (thank you for the suggestion)
Almacca@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 240d
Stilton's are pretty strong. I'd suggest a Creamy Danish Blue for something a bit subtler and very delicious.

I've seen that at the grocer, will check it out, thank you!

Now try a cube of Stilton with a glass of vintage port. Heavenly combo.

The "bluer" one looks just plain moldy to me. Not with the good kind, I mean.
Lauchmelder@feddit.org · 16 pts · 241d
yeah I don't like that there is what appears to be moisture inside the bluer ones packaging
PapaStevesy@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 241d
Softer cheeses often have moisture in/on them. Even some older "dry" cheeses can have a lot of moisture on the outside. I just had an 18-year cheddar this weekend and it looked like a slimy petri dish on the outside, but goddam that shit was fantastic.
froh42@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 241d
18 year cheddar? That's older than my whiskey.

That’s older than my grandchildren.

Absolutely a bad sign. I have eaten a LOT of different blue cheeses throughout the years, including blue cheeses with the "wrong" mold on accident, and I absolutely guarantee that the bluer one is the wrong mold. You don't take a bite out of that shit without making sure you're never making that mistake again...

Bho I’ve eaten basic Roquefort or even Gorgonzola looking more blue than this… are you using American blue-cheese scale or the European one? Sometimes it’s so blue it’s becoming green-ish but it’s still a treat.
MBech@feddit.dk · 5 pts · 241d
I've only ever eaten european blue cheeses, and a great variety of them. It's not just about the blue colour, it's about the hairyness of the mold, the exact tint of blue that is in the picture, and the spread. The mold in the picture isn't good.
PapaStevesy@lemmy.world · -2 pts · 241d
No one can see it well enough from these pictures, still in it's packaging, to be able to tell any of that.
MBech@feddit.dk · 0 pts · 241d
I can.
PapaStevesy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 241d
Actually I do see bad mold, but it's all over the other cheese, it's super hairy and white so it's hard to tell, but yeah, I can tell, that lighter one is no good! Seriously, you'll die if you even smell it, I can see it! I've eaten so much cheese
Almacca@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 240d
That mold looks like it's just on the surface, and not intentional.
Caketaco@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 5 pts · 241d
blue cheese has mold in it never forget
Rooty@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 241d
That's why it's so tasty 🥰
Caketaco@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 241d
okay ❤️
yay ❤️

Which has always been confusing to me because I thought mold is bad to eat, like poisonous & tummy aches, possibly death
Obi@sopuli.xyz · 6 pts · 241d
The mold in blue cheese is a very specific one which is created on purpose manually, that is okay to eat.
ulterno@programming.dev · 4 pts · 241d
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.

Why was your comment downvoted? I want to know the truth about edible molds vs inedible molds. What is the truth?
mech@feddit.org · 3 pts · 241d
Some plants and fungi are good to eat, others make you sick.
Same thing with mold.
MarieMarion@literature.cafe · 1 pts · 240d
I use molds to ferment vegetables (think sauerkraut, but with squash, or cauliflower, or fennel, or leek...), to make soda (kombucha, often with apples or blackberry), to bake bread.
Coffee beans are fermented, too. And many other foodstuff.
Bacterias are our best friends. So tasty.

Cheese is mold

The process of making Roquefort start by making a big batch of moldy rye bread, then mixing this bread with milk and let it age like that.

That's interesting that they look so different, but both look absolutely delicious. Weird how apparently some people in this comment section are unfamiliar with the concept of cheese.

Blue cheese is actually very tasty if you find the right one. I've tasted very awful ones and very tasty ones.
stringere@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 240d
Blue cheese is an unconventional but amazing addition to a bowl of chili.

I've got a nice Stilton in the fridge for later today. So good.
