Cheese is a solid food made from the milk of cows, goats, sheep, and other mammals. Cheese is made by curdling milk using a combination of rennet (or rennet substitutes) and acidification. Bacteria acidify the milk and play a role in defining the texture and flavor of most cheeses. Some cheeses also feature molds, either on the outer rind or throughout.

Cheese is made by a fermentation process & some cheese are allowed to mold to give them there special flavors. If mold bothers you(allergic) eat fresh cheeses. They are not moldy.

No, cheese is curdled milk that may or may not have been aged by bacteria. Mold is occasionally added for specialty cheeses.
