Not posted any of my makes resently. Thought i had at last cracked Stilton. Great make nice firm cheese plenty of blue.............
And then 5 weeks later................
Checked my cheeses in the cheese cave on friday every thing fine RH 85% temp 10.5C looked this morning open the fridge only to be hit by a waft of hot cheesy air.
25C!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The temp probe had fallen out.
So I have cut them open and tasted them
Very nice .........................but not stilton.
My caerphilly's have faired a little better though blue they are beginning to get a natural rind on them.
I started 2 new blues last week though they are not as firm as the others were, so i am not so hopeful. Unfortunately I have promised my dad a cheese for his birthday in June and I promised a group of fellow brewers a stilton and a bottle of 1996 elderberry port. Not hopeful of the cheese front now.
