Boy that really has settled,
When i do my Stiltons I have flipped in the mold for 5 days, this seems to be just right for me, then remove from the mold and
smooth the surface of the cheese, then into the cave at 55 deg. and 90 to 95% R/H for 2 weeks, then I pierce it for the first time. I also bring it out daily for 45 min every day flip it, and air it.
if I see the piercing holes are getting over grown with mold I re-pierce trying to stay in the same holes, I have had to do this up to 3 times in 8 to 10 weeks depending on how much blue bite I want.
that being said it is up to your taste, strong or mild I like em to bite back somewhat I had one bite back and slap my face at 11 weeks it
was a very good cheese
