Best Answer

cheese that has blue dye in it Blue cheese is a general classification of cheeses that has had Penicillium cultures added so that the final product is spotted or veined throughout with blue or blue-green mould, and carries a distinct aroma. Some blue cheeses are injected with spores before the curds form; others have spores mixed in with the curds after they form. Blue cheeses are typically aged in a temperature-controlled environment such as a cave. The blue veins are entirely due to natural moulds, not to synthetic dyes.

The term blue vein cheese is used to describe a blue cheese. The difference is the look and the amount of edible blue mold running through the cheese. Blue veined cheeses tend to have a small amount of this edible mold which resembles veins. These cheeses tend to be semi-hard or hard cheeses.
