The most famous cheeses with blue mold include Gorgonzola and Roquefort, Stilton, Niva. The growth of mold inside the cheese is supported by some bacteria, for example brevibacterium linens.

2CheddarCheddar is a hard cheese originating from the south-west of England (originally from the village of Cheddar), where it matures in caves. Cheddar is made from both unpasteurized and pasteurized whole milk. The starter culture and later the rennet are used to create the curd. The finished curd is ground into pea-sized pieces and then slowly heated. After draining the whey, the curd forms a homogeneous mass, which is cut into thick blocks. The blocks are stacked on top of each other and tilted to drain the rest of the whey. This is what the cheddar cheese process looks like, which gives the cheese its specific structure. Finally, the curd is ground again, salted and placed in special molds, in which it is then pressed.06:55:00

11StiltonStilton is an English cheese, made in two types: Blue, and White. Blue stilton has Penicillium roqueforti added. This gives it a characteristic smell and taste. White is the same cheese without having the penicillium added. Both have been given the status of a protected designation of origin (PDO) by the European Commission. This means that the cheese must be made to a strict code in one of the three counties of Derbyshire, Leicestershire or Nottinghamshire. Cheese made in the village of Stilton, which is now in Cambridgeshire can not be sold as "Stilton".07:35:00
