Ladle curd into 4 cam molds. Drain 2 hrs room temp. Flip and drain 2 hrs. Flip. And drain 12 hrs. Remove from molds Salt and leave at room temp 12 more hrs. move to fridge.
After 4 days aging wash with PLA innocculated 3% brine ever day for 3 days. Then 2x/week for 1 week.

They seem to be coming along nicely. There is a nice orange b.l. Layer under the felt that the photos don't do justice.
