Navigating Cheese Tastings with Mold Allergies: Your Safety Guide

Cheese tasting events can be a minefield for mold allergy sufferers. Many beloved cheeses—blue varieties like Gorgonzola, aged cheeses such as Brie, and artisanal options—rely on mold cultures for flavor and texture. For those allergic to mold, accidental exposure can trigger reactions like hives, respiratory distress, or even anaphylaxis. But you don’t have to skip these culinary experiences!
