Mouldy blue cheese

I opened a blue vein cheese today, expiry date Feb 2012. This might sound obvious as its blue cheese but it was covered in hairy fluffy mould on the exterior.Is it safe to eat!

That doesn't sound right to me. As you say it is blue cheese but the fluffy mould doesn't seem right.
Hopefully someone else will have some ideas. I would return it to where you bought it from.

Return it. It sounds like it has been poorly stored.

fluffy/hairy = bad

Definitely return it as it should not be like that. I buy blue cheese all the time and have never had any like that.

normally occurs when not refrigerated.its been left out in the warm air for that to happen. wrap it back up and return it for a replacement.
