Yes it is, today most varieties of blue cheese are either injected with mold or it is mixed right in with the curd.
Blue cheese (or bleu cheese) is a cheese that has had Penicillium cultures added so that the final product is spotted or veined with blue-gray or blue-green mold.
It is not made with "moldy cheese" it is made with a type of blue mold added to it during its manufacturing but, this mold is not harmful to humans. Blue cheese is part of the blue veined cheese group.
Cheese is molded on purpose. The blue in cheese is the color of mold.
BLUE CHEESE IS ALREDY MOLDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Blue cheese gets the name from the veins of blue colored mold that go through it. It is intentional, as it is a cheese curd infected with penecillium to have that result, which also gives it the pungent flavor.

Blue cheese is mostly white with veins of blue mold growing in it.
I've found that provalone molded faster than any of them---Trick question: you may not be aware of it but bleucheese is pre-molded. When bleu cheese is being made, it is injected with mold spores. This is what causes the blue veining or spotting that is seen in the cheese and gives it the generic name of bleu cheese.
Ask a blue cheese maker.

The basic steps are to heat the milk, add a curdling agent, strain the curds from the whey and then put the curds in a press. Some cheese has seasoning added at this point or mold injected like blue cheese. Then the cheese is aged for varying times for each type.
