Will it kill or poison me?

[voyager]

My very uninformed standard is "does it taste like mold".    Intention mold, in my experience, doesn't taste bad, eg brie, salami.     But anytime I taste the musty-dusty funk of decaying food, I need to chuck it.

No guys, this is Dominican salami. No intentional mould.

No what I  read is that it doesn't matter.  Sure sometimes white mold is intentional, but even when not, it's the same just-wash-it-off white mold that grows on dried sausage.

i mean, even in Emilia-Romagna, it didn't START OUT being intentional.

I misspoke.   I guess what I meant was that some mold occurs that has become traditionally acceptable as opposed to that that, with no credentials, makes itself at home in your refrigerator or fruit bowl or bread box.
