Bel Paese - something that came to my mind

[mbox]

While i made Bel Paese yesterday i "fell over" that pack of mild Lipase ....and wondered would this Lipase do any good in a Bel Paese? I made it per 200 recipe and did not add Lipase , but for next time maybe an idea?

What do you think?

Not sure what cheese that is, but if it is often made with goats milk and you want to give it that character then a bit of lipase would do the trick.

Hi & thx for the feedback. No it isn't made of Goat its a cow milk cheese . Originates from italy with a pretty soft texture for a semisoft cheese. it is washed and pretty mild...could be a cheese for my wife to start getting into cheese ( in thailand cheese is not common also due to large percentage of lactose intolerancy in asia) ...so i thought more taste without mold or smell could be a good extra...

Lipase is often used in cow milk to give the milk a bit of a "goaty" flavor...on the other hand I have seen parmesan makes that call for lipase, so it is one way to add flavor.

If you do, then you should start off light and see how you like it.

I made a bel paese (Milano) with a blend of goat and cow milk at the end of the fall.  I want to give it 4 months aging, but I'll let you know what it's like when I cut it near the end of this month.
