Does blue cheese cause an allergic reaction in some people?
Histamines sometimes occur naturally in foods and when ingested can mimic an allergic reaction. Fermented foods such as cheese, and sauerkraut contain histamine, especially Blue cheese, Roquefort, and Parmesan. The human body contains an enzyme called Diamine Oxidase that is responsible for the metabolizing of histamines. When the histamine-metabolizing enzyme Diamine Oxidase is saturated and the enzyme cannot metabolize any more of the histamine ingested then an allergic like reaction can occur.

What is an monoamine oxidase inhibitor?
A drug that inhibits the absorption of the enzyme monoamine oxidase. This is an addition to the above-mentioned answer.
