Thanks Mal.
I wish I could get half as organised as you obviously are with your cheddars.

Well done! AC4U. I made a couple of Cantals, one in April and one in May of this year; the first I cut in half at the 3-month mark and ate half and put the rest back for further aging. It was okay at that point, nothing special -- kind of like a dry Lancashire in taste, and (not surprisingly) very crumbly. I am anxious to see what both are like after they achieve a more respectable age -- I have thought about trying some of the first when it gets past 6 months, and holding back the second for something closer to a year ... hopefully I'll get results as good as yours!

Thanks, Andy.
Patience, I think, is the hardest part of cheesemaking.
Good luck with your Cantals.
