Penicillium roqueforti is a common saprotrophic fungus in the genus Penicillium.Widespread in nature, it can be isolated from soil, decaying organic matter, and plants.

Blue cheese is a semi-soft, crumbly cheese typically made from cow’s, sheep’s, or goat’s milk, and the term “blue” is actually an umbrella term for many varieties of cheese: Gorgonzola ...
By taking the cheese through a series of maturation stages where temperature and relative humidity are carefully controlled, the cheese maker allows the surface mould to grow and the mould ripening of the cheese by fungi to occur. Mould-ripened cheeses ripen faster than hard cheeses, in weeks as opposed to the typical months or even years. [8]
