Almost one month since Notchy was brought into this world. I take it out for a breather every few days. The smell of ammonia is getting stronger. I pierced it for the second time today, in an attempt to air out the ammonia. Next, I'll wrap it up and put it into the fridge for a month at 4C.

My first blue cheese: cut and tasted after three months. What a miracle: it tastes like a gorgonzola! The paste is yellow with grey-green veins. Yay!

And most surprising of all, this cheese survived a cross country trip! Raise a glass to Frodage and his experimental blue cheese!

And now you're an official member of the club, Jim. Have another cheese. That's a really nice Gorgonzola. Congratulations!

Congratulations on the lovely blue Jim! I will have to give it another try soon. By the way, Gianaclis Caldwell says it is a fine idea to make  a slurry of blue and milk taking the blue from a cheese you like!!
