Term Definition
Bloomy Rind Or White Rind Cheeses

This class or category of cheese comprises the white cheeses with soft creamy interiors. The rind is composed the Penicillium candidum mold, which grows naturally as the cheese ages. The mold grows on the outside of the cheese, breaking down the protein and fat inside, making it soft, runny, and more complex.

Bloomy rind cheeses are generally aged for two weeks, which produces a mild flavor and subtle aroma.
