Best Answer

Blue cheese (or bleu cheese) is a general classification of cow's milk, sheep's milk, or goat's milk cheeses that have had Penicillium cultures added so that the final product is spotted or veined throughout with blue, blue-gray or blue-green mold, and carries a distinct smell. Some blue cheeses are injected with spores before the curds form and others have spores mixed in with the curds after they form. Blue cheeses are typically aged in a temperature-controlled environment such as a cave. Blue cheese can be eaten by itself or can be crumbled or melted over foods.

Yes. Eventually, it will become overrun with mold, and it will become a shapeless mass of toxins. If you put it into a vacuum, it might last longer, but that would be quite expensive just for a piece of cheese.

Because of the penicillium mold that grows in it and also produces its flavor.

Probably because the blue parts of blue cheese are mold! The bad smell is probably ammonia,this usually increases as the cheese is stored for too long.
