Does it get moldy?
If it hasn't 'gone bad' it isn't cheese. Not sure if this is meant to be humorous, co please don't take my answer as an insult. if it's serious, I think its adorable. Cheese can degrade to an unappetizing condition that makes it hardly worth bothering to clean of excess mold sometimes.
So far, and I certainly will stand corrected if a factual refutation is forthcoming, I've never seen cheese that went bad in the way it is applied to other types of food,
The very second it's made! I really don't understand how some people willingly put mouldy food into their mouths. WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!
Do you drink beer? That's "mouldy". It's been attached by a fungus called "Yeast", which produces a lovely excrement called "Alcohol". Any mature cheese, of whatever colour, is mouldy. that's what gives it the flavour. ... and what about leavened bread?
You have no idea how nice it is ?
When it starts moving on its own.
My sister left some very cold camembert cheese on a radiator once to let it warm up before the cheese and biscuits course. It thawed and slid out of sight.
It also took weeks of pushing thin rods, wrapped in soapy water, down the radiator splines, before the smell abated.
lol
Apparently, yes, it can become moldy. From what it says on this USDA web page, you should probably discard it. I hope this helps.

Another food modified by fungus is "Cuitlachochay" which affects the corn harvest with a Stony shaped furry growth not unlike what a pussy willows looks like, only this fungus grows on the corn kernels inside of Mexican corn husks. It has been named "black gold" because of it's color and it tastiness.
If the whitish part becomes pink, green or brown it's bad, if it has anything other than a blue cheese smell (Ammonia) it's bad. A quick Google search should tell you all you need to know.
When the mold dies? Heheheh. Hey I happen to like blecheese. , granted in small doses. I love making cheese dip with Kroger queso Blanco with jalapenos. It's a form of Velveeta...
How can you tell if blue cheese is good to begin with?
Can't help you, I got enough with my sister ordering 6 cheese pizza! Not interested in a pizza made of the Frankestein of cheeses.
