No it isn't, cheese is milk curds. But it can contain mold. Cheese supposedly originates from the Bedouins having had milk in goatskin bags going moldy from age and becoming cheese.

As time went on, the process became an art, so now we have "Aged Cheddar Cheese", for example. The earliest archeological evidence dates from 2000 BCE, but may have begun as early as 8000 BCE, when sheep were allegedly first domesticated.

Some cheeses (like the blue varieties) have mold cultures added to the ripening cheese to give them their distinctive flavor.

Can you eat Moldy Swiss cheese?

Yes, but should you? The rule of thumb for mold on aged hard cheeses is to cut away the mold and cheese within one inch of the mold. The remainder should be edible. The reason for this is cheddar cheese won't mold as fast as cottage or mozzarella because cheddar is not as moist as those cheeses and since mold needs moistness to grow, those 2 cheeses are the best place for mold to grow. Mold starts out as spores, and the spores are the beginning of the life cycle for mold. If you are a cheese person, always get to your cheese early, especially if it is mozzarella or cottage. If mold is found on soft cheese, such as, cottage cheese or cream cheese, the entire package should be discarded.
