Sup /ck/,
I had some sour cream in the fridge for a few weeks too long, and it got moldy. When I dumped it, I noticed that it smelled absolutely wonderfully like blue cheese. The mold was pretty much all green, but was furry unlike the blue cheese that I can get in the stores.
Does sour cream have the right bugs in it to get turned into blue cheese? Is this what blue cheese is made from? Or was it just a coincidence, and it probably would have tasted like ass and killed me dead if I'd ated it?
Better safe than sorry you dummy.
How to make cheese:
Step 1. Add rennet to whole milk.

I don't think sour cream has enough salt in it, unlike the blue cheese base to stop bad bacteria from growing.

I always wondered what the blue parts in bleu cheese is made of
Someone was once brave enough to eat an oyster, and look where we are today. Be brave OP, you may just discover some new culinary master stroke.
taste it
It's not like eating a little bit of it will make you sick

Storage is an important factor for cheesemaking too. If it was opened prior to going bad who knows what could have gotten in. Many traditional unpasteurized cheesemakers will use wooden vessels because they harbour good bacteria. Plastic, glass, or stainless steel do not have this added benefit.

Sour cream doesn't easily mold until it's very old or it's been introduced to a contamination like a dirty spoon (think bacteria now!) Since it has a high moisture content, you have the ability for a low of mold that isn't visible throughout, not like you can't lop off the top? Think again. Best to throw it out.

Thanks; I did. Unfortunately, living in a hot humid climate, everything turns to mold almost instantly. It's nasty here. :-(
