How do you make blue cheese?

The most important thing to remember when making blue cheese is that you need to grow mold inside of the cheese. This requires air inside the cheese. Puncturing the cheese when ripening is a minimal requirement, but the technique is also important as well as using a gas forming starter culture that creates airpockets. This blue cheese starterskit contains such a starter culture of course.

There are quite a few resources out there for making your own blue cheese, e.g.

• a recipe by countrybrewer
