Christmas Cheese
« on: December 23, 2013, 08:43:29 AM »
I opened my Christmas cheeses today, a Double Gloucester and a blue. The blue was approached with some trepidation. It had developed a slimy, bright yellow rind at one stage of its development and smelt like a Roman gladiator's sandal. I think it had picke up some feral relative of brevibacterium. Consequently, I didn't know quite what to expect. Both cheeses have turned out well though. The blue is sharpish and drier than most. What I imagine a blue cheddar would taste like if such a thing exists.

Hi Raw Prawn,

A few of my cheeses pick up wild b.linens as well.  My recent blue had a bit.  It can compliment the blue flavour quite nicely, depending upon the balance.  Looks like a decent outcome, and your double Gloc looks fantastic.  A cheese for you!

Thanks for the feeback. Both cheeses are nearly three months old and it is the first of each.
Merry Christmas to all!
