how do acquired tastes work?

Things like mouldy cheese are awful initially, but after a while they become sought-after delicacies for many people. How does this work?

I think this is a lot to do with your taste buds changing as you mature. When you’re younger all you want is sweet. Like chocolate syrup on chocolate fudge ice cream washed down with a coke. (maybe just me) But as you get older you prefer salty and are even ok with some bitter. Also with alcohol I think peer pressure has a major effect on acquiring the taste.
