Blue cheese

Blue cheese is frequently used as a generic term to describe a variety of blue veined cheeses. These are all aged blue-veined cheeses made by inoculating a cheese with a specific mold. The blue-green growth is edible and the flavor varies with the type of inoculant used as well as the aging process.

There are hundreds of varieties of blue cheeses from around the world.  A few notables are:
