Stilton #1
« on: April 16, 2013, 02:47:37 AM »
No problems on this one, at least I don't think it has problems.  This is my first attempt at a Stilton, and first large cheese.  Our old cake carrier turned out to be the perfect size.  This cheese takes up a majority of my small wine cooler.  Recipe is from Washington Cheese Guild.
Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.

That's a nice looking one! How are you going to treat the rind? I'm still cleaning mine on a regular base with water and salt....
