Good gouda
« on: January 19, 2015, 04:41:54 AM »
I opened this one for a special occasion... I took some to the California Artisan Cheese Guild annual meeting! I was initially too intimidated to put it on the table with all the professionals' cheeses, but was encouraged to go ahead. My 5 month gouda type was well received, and I felt very happy about my efforts. Really I need to thank the well-fed cow, since she produced the very fine milk. The best part of making cheese is having others really like it.

I agree that it looks very good. How could you possibly wait 5 whole months, though? I have made five gouda-types and can't seem to last more than six weeks before cracking them open!

Thanks Danbo!
Frodage, I make cheese about 3 times a month right now so putting some in the back of the cave is not too hard. But 5 to 6 months is about my limit of patience. I do love cheese!

Had a bit more of this with forum member Frodage the other night..... It is still a very nice cheese. Vacuum sealed it again after - not sure how long to age the rest now!

Susan, I would give you a cheese as well but I think I heard the forum police limit cheeses for "Mature Cheese" members to less than 18.5% of their total posts ::).  Oh well, seeing your cheeses is worth incarceration ;).
