About
Blue cheese is a mold-ripened dairy product that packs slightly denser than water, weighing about 9.2 ounces (260 grams) per cup.
Blue cheese has a typical density of about 69 pounds per cubic foot (1.1 grams per milliliter), making it slightly heavier than water. A full US cup weighs about 9.2 ounces (260 grams), meaning an 8-ounce (227-gram) wedge takes up just under one cup of space. It is heavier by volume than loosely packed shredded cheeses, which leave more empty space between pieces. Creamy varieties settle with fewer air pockets than dry, crumbly styles, slightly altering how much weight fits into a measuring cup.
From Wikipedia
Blue cheese is any cheese made with the addition of cultures of edible molds, which create blue-green spots or veins through the cheese. Blue cheeses vary in flavor from mild to strong and from slightly sweet to salty or sharp; in color from pale to dark; and in consistency from liquid to hard.
