Mold ripened cheese is a soft and ripened cheese that has a healthy type of mold known as (Penicillium candidum, camemberti or glaucum) added to the milk that is sprayed over the cheese or added to the milk of the cheese.

The added mold creates the soft, white rind and also helps the cheese ripen from the outside in.

Surface mold–ripened soft cheeses are types of cheeses that are characterized by the presence of a felt-like coating of white mycelia due to the growth of Penicillium camemberti on the surface.

The presence of this mold gives these cheeses a characteristic appearance, as well as a typical aroma and taste.

Cheese ripening or cheese maturation is a process in the cheese-making.

This process is associated the activities many microbial proteases and lipases changing the morphology and physical texture of the cheese as well as developing the taste and flavor of the product.

Natural cheeses are made by making milk coagulate, using either rennet or acid.

As their name indicates, ripened cheeses are then further matured to develop a stronger taste and an ideal texture.

Not all cheeses are ripened. Cottage, cream, ricotta, and most mozzarella cheeses are ready for sale as soon as they are made.
