Despite the specific taste of such cheese, it has properties that no other cheese can boast. First of all, it is calcium. Let it be contained as much as in ordinary cheese, but precisely because of mold, it is absorbed by the body as never before. The same goes for amino acids. Also in this cheese there is a huge amount of B vitamins and phosphorus, the amount of which is not inferior to marine fish in anything. Not so long ago, it was noted that the consumption of blue cheese in the summer will allow the skin to avoid excessive burns. This is due to the stimulation of the production of melanin.

It is also worth paying attention to the quality of the cheese itself. In its section, the mold should form small veins, and the mold channels should not stand out much. Cheese should be soft to the touch, not crumbly. It should have a light crust, its hardness indicates how long the cheese was stored before it went on sale. If there are many points on it from mold channels, then the cheese is not of good quality.
