Hi, I have problems with my Camembert cheese. 1. bitter after taste, 2. it is not so soft after 4 weeks of aging.
I use: 1/4 tsp flora denica per 1 gallon of milk
          1 pinch pen. candinum
          1/2 pinch geo. candidum
          ripening 30 min
         
          1/4 tsp liquid rennet per 2 gallon of milk
           coagulation 90 min
What is the reason, what can I do to resolve these problems?
thanks

Hey tsago, what milk, and how fresh was it? it seems the milk usually is to blame when the other things are correct.

I have my cows and milk is always fresh. about softness, I think it is moisture problem, but bitter taste? I don't now.
