      Most cheese molds, at least on harder cheeses, are pretty benign. Some are even left to mold intentionally. If you see some mold, you’re probably not going to be able to get rid of all of it - it goes deeper then deeper than you’d think. But it’s probably fine to eat as long as that doesn’t bother you (I do it all the time).

        Yeah it’s definitely going to depend on each person’s ability to handle those things. I’m in a similar boat, I’ve eaten stuff that should have killed me, and yet I don’t even know the meaning of food poisoning and have absolutely cut the gray mold off cheese and then happily finished off the block. Other people get sick just looking at food the wrong way. “Is that mold on your cheese – hurk” No dude, it’s pepper-jack.

          All true, though when I said “bother you,” I meant mentally. Hard cheese molds is generally pretty safe (I’m hedging because I don’t know if there are exceptions).

            Heh we all know there’s always an exception. The question is whether that type can even grow in your part of the world, or even survive transfer through the air.
