The cheese itself is not, but the blue specks are concentrated spots of microorganisms. Of course, all cheese requires microorganisms to create, without it, cheese would be liquid, and it'd pretty much be milk.

Some cheeses, such as Roquefort, blue, Gorgonzola, Stilton, Brie, and Camembert, are made from dairy products in a similar manner to other cheeses. However, there is a unique step for those cheeses. Cheeses like those mentioned above are introduced to a specific type of mold (which is a type of fungus) at a specific point in their development. These molds often impart unique colors, scents, and tastes to the cheeses as they grow. If the molds are allowed to continue to grow unchecked, the cheeses may become unsafe to eat.

Yes, blue cheese is a type of cheese that is produced using cultures of the mold Penicillium. This mold gives the cheese its characteristic blue veins and tangy flavor.
