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 you’re reading too much into this. Acquired taste isn’t a physical response at all. It has more to do with psychological growth. Any food can trigger your aversion reflex just by the fact that it is new or different. As an intelligent human, you are able to overcome this because you know that the food is consumed by other people safely and you can assume that you can also safely eat it. The taste of cheese, for example, doesn’t change the more you eat it. You just get used to the taste, and it doesn’t seem abnormal any more. I personally believe that anyone has the ability to like any food. Tastes, whether it be food or music, are really just a choice that you make, and you can change them at any time.
