Japanese term or phrase: 青カビ・白カビチーズ

What is an appropriate English term for 青カビチーズ and　白カビチーズ？

I assume there is a better way to say this than 'white mold cheese'.

I'm translating a menu. Here's the entire line:
・本格派チーズの盛り合わせ　
青カビ・白カビ・フレッシュ・ウォッシュの厳選4種

Thank you!

これはレストランのメニューなんですね。見ずに答えたのですみません。それなら、Yuki さんが出しているような、シンプルに blue/white の方がいいと思います。white-rind は、実際にそうなのですが、字面では美味しそうには見えませんね。

white cheese はcreamy なのと、そうでないものがあるのですが、レストランで出てくるのなら、多分クリーミー系だと思います。

ちなみに、チーズのタイプはこちら：

blue and white cheeses

Explanation:
I usually see them simply referred to as blue cheese and white cheese here in Canada. I haven't seen one particular kind of cheese called white cheese (they go by specific names like Brie, Camembert, etc.) while many blue cheeses are called blue cheese, although some of them are called more specifically like Stilton and Gorgonzola.

Blue cheese, Camembert cheese

Explanation:
This page shows the type of cheese, including "白カビタイプ" and "青カビタイプ"
http://www.chesco.co.jp/encyc/grounding/type.html

You can find the "青カビタイプ" is also called "ブルーチーズ" (blue cheese).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_cheese

My suggestion is to use the specific name of cheese for "白カビタイプ", such as Camembert cheese
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camembert_(cheese)
or Brie cheese,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brie_(cheese)
which are similar but from different regions.

I want additional comments from someone who are knowledgeable about cheese.
