🧀💙 HAPPY NATIONAL MOLDY CHEESE DAY! 💙🧀

Yes, you read that right… apparently there’s a day dedicated to MOLDY CHEESE! 😂

Here at Campbell-Plumly-Milburn Funeral Home, we decided this was an important topic that deserved some serious community discussion!

Chase has already cast his vote, and it’s no surprise to anyone who knows him…

🏆 BLUE CHEESE! 🏆

Blue cheese dressing, blue cheese crumbles, blue cheese on a burger, blue cheese on wings… if it’s blue cheese, Chase is eating it! The moldier, the better! 🤣

Now we want to hear from YOU!

🧀 THE GREAT MOLDY CHEESE SURVEY! 🧀

💙 A. Blue Cheese — The king of moldy cheeses!

🧀 B. Gorgonzola — A little fancy, but still moldy!

🤍 C. Brie or Camembert — Give me that mold-ripened rind!

🤢 D. NONE! If my cheese has mold, it’s going in the trash!

👇 Drop your vote in the comments! And if you’re a blue cheese fan, tell us your favorite way to eat it!

We may not agree on cheese, but we can all agree that this might be one of the strangest holidays we’ve ever celebrated! 😂
