Ditto, S T - I just love brocolli and blue stilton soup and am now about to Google a recipe for blue cheese salad dressing!

Re: Mouldy Cheese!
I like most cheese but like Tabby, it never lasts long enough to go mouldy. When we were children my Mum used to grater and melt any old leftover cheese or rind, whisk a couple of eggs into it and spread it on toast as a rarebit. It was delicious and I still make it pretty much the same today, albeit with a splash of Worcester sauce... yum yum..

Re: Mouldy Cheese!
Hi ST, I can only go on what my lovely late mum told me about mouldy cheese. She never threw cheese away EVER! regardless of whether blue mould spots had appeared or hard crust had formed on cheese. She simply got a knife and pared the offending pieces away. The cheese left was as fresh-tasting as when she first bought it.I have always done the same, but of course, nowadays we have modern fridges rather than old pantries and larders, so less chance of cheese ''going off''. My offending cheese is more likely to be when HWMO grabs the cheese from the fridge to make himeself a sandwich and then forgets to put the tupperware lid back on properly - hence leaving the cheese inside exposed. TUT!

I'll have to run a few tests, some in cheese cloth and some in plastic wrap to see which lasts the longest and to also do a taste test between cheese cloth and plastic.

As a fan of Danish Blue, Gorgonzola and Blue Stilton, mouldy cheeses holds no fear for me.
