In our days there are a lot of factories, which produce the exactly blue cheeses, for example, the US 'Maytag Blue Cheese'. Cheeses of such type were originally the products of the environment and, maybe, if they are ripened naturally they have more delicious flavor. If you want to get blue cheese at home you can take the mold from the previous batch of cheese.
