Baby swiss from summer
« on: February 20, 2013, 02:47:22 AM »
Here is a picture of my baby swiss from the begining of this last summer.  I didn't get a chance to get pictures after I cut it because It was gone so fast.  I am going to make alot more of this because it is one of my favorite cheeses to make.

When it gets warmer I will make some more.  This batch was gone before I had time to take pictures.  It had some eye formation but they wasn't as big as I would have liked.  Does anyone have any suggestions to get the eyes in swiss type cheese bigger.

SEARCH on "bigger eyes" in the forum. Lots of postings.

Just curious, why do you wait until it gets warmer?

I don't have a warm room to age the cheese in so I wait till it gets warm and just leave in in the warm of my make room.  It stays around 65 degrees

65 is a bit warm for my bedroom in winter.  The bedroom would make a great spot for warm phase, but a certain lady objects.  She really laid down the law the first time she saw a Stilton getting blue there.   ::)

I'm sure she just hasn't warmed up to the Warm Phase idea yet. After all, it IS a community project, right?

I think I noticed an eye roll the first time I had an alpine in the upstairs bedroom. ;)
