This document outlines a 12-step process for making blue cheese at home:
1) The process begins with salted curds from farmer's cheese made from milk, which are inoculated with a suspension of blue cheese cultures.
2) The inoculated curds are pressed lightly overnight and then aerated by inserting rods throughout the cheese.
3) The aerated cheese is aged for 2 months in a cool box at around 10 degrees Celsius and 70% humidity, being turned daily and monitored for mold growth.

David Guerrero Gómez PASSIVE VOICE EXCERSICE PROCESS ON HOW TO MAKE BLUE CHEESE IN 12 STEPS
• GREAT WITH WINE AND SOME BEERS
1st STEP • The Process is Started with cold drained curds(requeson) from Farmer's cheese made from two gallons of milk. 2 gals = 7,570.824 c3 2nd STEP • Salt is Sprinkled on (2 teaspoons) and it is mixed to form pea-sized crumbles. 3rd STEP • A blender is used to blend 1 teaspoon of uncontaminated blue cheese like "Saga Blue" with 1/4 cup of cool clean water to create a smooth suspension of cheese (the inoculum). 4th STEP • The inoculum is Poured over the salted curds and toss to mix thoroughly. 5th STEP The press is lined with a sterile handkerchief, and the curd is loaded. The curds are pressed lightly so they are not compressed together, but retain air spaces within the cheese. Allow it to stand in the press overnight 6th STEP • The curd is removed from the press in the morning and air holes are created by inserting a sterilized rod, about 1/4 inch in Output Diameter (6 mm), through the cheese every inch(2.54cm) or so. 7th STEP • Salt is Rubbed lightly in the surface, and place the aerated cheese on a dry sterile handkerchief. Fold the cloth over to lightly cover. 8th STEP • The cheese is placed on a non corrosive rack to encourage air circulation around it and it is placed in a "cool box" (e.g. refrigerator) which will hold the temperature around 10 C/ (50 F)/ 283.1667K. 9th STEP • Monitor the temperature and humidity. The temperature should be around 10 C, and the humidity around 70%. Elevate the humidity with a pan of water in the bottom of the "cool box. 10th STEP • The cheese is turned daily, the handkerchief is replaced with a dry sterile one if it appears wet. 11th STEP • Look for a white "bloom" on the surface of the cheese after a week or 10 days 12th STEP • Finally the blue cheese is removed after two months. Note the marbling of the interior with Penicillium. It can also be aged longer, but it is utterly delicious as it is. But please dont cut the cheese
