R.I.P. dear Asiago
« on: January 18, 2015, 08:33:19 AM »
I opened an Asiago this morning. I had a feeling that something could be wrong (but still hoping)...

The rind was in very nice condition but I noticed a slight swelling...

I decided to open the cheese and... Yes it was unfortunately "late blowing" caused by Clostridium I guess - not to be eaten.

I have read that winter milk is much more likely to contain Clostridium spores than summer milk. Now I'm using Lysozyme to prevent this but I didn't when I made this cheese.

Well... Nothing to do about it... Rest in Peace dear Asiago..... :-(

Was the cheese aged on its sides, or on its flatter top/bottom?

Hi WovenMeadows,

It was aged on its flat sides. Why? :-)

:(

That's sad....I make most of my cheese during the coldest winter months because it's the best time for me.....so all my milk is winter milk....non-organic....p/h....

Without knowing, I would have probably eaten this cheese....would it make you sick??

*GEE I have so much to learn!!*

True, Mermaid! :)

Hopefully I would notice something like that if were bad.

Did you taste it? If so, did it taste like rotten fish?
