I have seen mites on both washed-rind cheeses and bloomy-rind cheeses, but only when they’ve been wrapped for an extended period. These cheeses were not dried out. It was a sight to behold.

The cheese-mites asked how the cheese got there,

And warmly debated the matter;

The Orthodox said that it came from the air,

And the Heretics said from the platter.

They argued it long and they argued it strong,

And I hear they are arguing now;

But of all the choice spirits who lived in the cheese,

Not one of them thought of a cow.

A Parable
