Today is National Moldy Cheese Day. This is cheese where mold is encouraged to grow. The two classic types are Camembert and Blue Cheese.
Camembert was named by Napoleon in 1855 when he first tasted the cheese. He named it for village where it originated, Camembert.
Blue Cheese has 2 popular varieties, Stilton and Gorgonzola.
Stilton is only produced in 8 dairies all located in counties of Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and Leicestershire. Two kinds are produced, blue and white.
Gorgonzola Cheese originated in the area of Milan, Italy. It is usually aged between 3 and 4 months.
