Cheese is a very good food, it's full of protein, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Since fat content isn't too important for mold growth, most cheeses will support mold. However, cheeses that are full of preservatives, or cheeses that are very hard (i.e. dry), will often take longer for molds to grow on.

Generally the rate of mold growth in or on cheese is regulated by available moisture. High moisture cheeses, such as mozzarella, will generally allow faster mold growth than cheeses with lower moisture, such as cheddar.

The purpose of this experiment was to compare the amount of mold growth on three types of cheese (American, Swiss, and cheddar). ... My hypothesis is that American cheese will support more mold growth than the other varieties.

My hypothesis was that mozzarella cheese would support the most mold growth of the three types. I based my hypothesis on the World Book Encyclopedia article, “Cheese”, by Robert T. Marshall, “softer cheese will support more mold growth”.

An unopened container of ricotta cheese may still be safe to use past the date if it has been refrigerated the entire time, looks, smells and tastes okay, and shows no signs of off-flavor, color or mold growth. The general rule of thumb is once opened, ricotta can be safely refrigerated up to 5 days.

Of 22 Aspergillus species, one was capable of producing aflatoxins after direct growth on cheese. Because the physicochemical characteristics of Teleme cheese (high moisture, low pH, and medium salt concentration) favor mold growth, care should be taken to avoid contamination of the cheese by aspergilli.

Most people are familiar with moldy bread or mold growth on cheese or other food products that have been kept too long, so the "green fuzzy" characteristic of most mold growth is familiar.
