There is actually such a thing as a cheese mite. That’s right, several types of cheese develop their distinctive flavor and appearance from mites that live on and just beneath the rind. In fact no cheese is immune to having cheese mites on its surface, although FDA standards in the United States enforce a limit of 6 mites per cubic inch for imported varieties. This is for the benefit of those of you who are allergic to the little buggers.
