AnswerIt can become moldy, but cheese itself isn't a mold. It's a dairy. Cheese is made from milk. Answer Cheese is a fermented milk product. Other fermented milk products that are not cheeses include yogurt and kefir, which is like yogurt, but is a liquid.

Cheese is made in a number of ways, each of which precipitates proteins in the milk. Heat can be used, usually with acids, such as vinegar or fruit juice. An enzyme from a substance called rennet is sometimes used. Bacteria are often used, and there are different types for different cheeses - cheddar is made from different bacteria than what is used for Swiss cheese. It is possible to make cheese using yeast. But it is not necessary to use mold.

Some cheese, such as brie, which has a white covering of mold, or blue, which has mold in it, are made purposely with mold.

And, of course, any cheese can get moldy.
