CONT

... blue cheese is blue because of a pigment-producing mold. Because this mold needs oxygen and space to grow, the cheese needs to be porous, not squished. So rather than being squeezed, our cheese is drained in a mold. Which is then stored in a cheese cellar. A cheese cellar is a place that can maintain the temperature and humidity so our mold can grow.
