Yes, 10-day-old cheese should be safe to eat. If it has mold, you may be able to cut the mold off and the rest of the cheese should be okay.
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.
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.

If you keep cheese out for hours then it will get moldy and turn green. If you eat the cheese it will mess up your organs inside. So don't eat the moldy cheese.
Cheese will mold when is has been exposed to any type of moist air. The mold on cheese is considered harmless.
Cheese with mould (mold) which has grown on it is not normally safe to eat. But many so-called 'blue' cheeses are made with special types of mould, veined throughout the cheese, which is perfectly edible.
No. There are many different types of mold, but many foods have mold all ready when they are eaten. Do you like blue cheese? The blue color is a mold within the cheese and it is allowed to ripen to get get that blue vein. You probably all ready eat mushrooms. They are a fungus. I can think of many things that people eat that have mold or are a fungus.
Swiss cheese grow mold by sitting in storage rooms for more than a year. The mold is not harmful to eat, it just flavors the cheese. If you leave it in a dark warm place Swiss cheese should grow mold within a couple of days
Unless mold is an actual part of the food (as in blue cheese or brie), do not eat moldy food.
People eat mouldy cheese, and they like it.
That is mold, but don't panic. Slice it away until you get to clear, firm cheese - it's still safe to eat. After all, it wouldn't be cheese in the first place if it wasn't for mold.
