Best Answer

Colonies of bacteria growing in lines through the cheese.

These originated from a few bacteria introduced into the cheese by being placed on long needles, which were then stuck into the cheese. The bacteria were cultivated from carefully selected bacteria which imparted a good flavour.

Different cultures make different cheeses, with different flavours and different shades of blue or green.
