Nice cheese, Stinky!

The unappealing taste of the rind is due to sealing a cheese. It's quite normal. Whenever you open a sealed cheese, place in the fridge in a covered container for 2-3 days, and that sour-like taste will go away.

I would suggest you wash with salt/vinegar mix. Let it air dry at cave temp and then seal again. There are a lot of crevices on the rind, so you may encounter more mold problems, but it'll be ok :)

Thanks!

Ah, I see. Duly noted. :D

Okay. Sounds good.

The crevices are mostly from the wax sticking to the cheese and pulling bit off.  :-\
