Smells a bit like ammonia to me!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Direct quote:
The white mould rinds are a result of the white mould Penicillium candidum or “relatives” of it!. These do
not produce penicillin, are digestible and do not present a health risk – not even if large quantities of cheese
are consumed!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
