      Moulds are a group of living things I haven’t really studied, but they look pretty cool and are able to produce antibiotics which kill bad bugs so they can’t be all bad!

      Yes and no, mould are very important for most cheese because it give a specific taste but also it protect the cheese from drying however on some cheese such as cheddar you don’t want mould even if it is a good one you want on another cheese.

      Yes – in the right place (producing foods like cheese and medicines like antibiotics);
      No – in the wrong place (making food go mouldy).
