My First 2 Cheddars
« on: April 10, 2009, 02:28:36 AM »
Here are my first 2 Stir Curd Cheddar's made with raw milk.The difference with using "Raw Milk" was incredible. I urge  anyone who is serious about making cheese to try  with raw milk even if it involves a long journey to fetch it.

I wonder if these are the first cheddar's made in Thailand?

Just a note. Cheddar #1 has colouring added to it. Cheddar #2 has no colouring.

Nick:

Those Cheddars look great.  How long do you plan to age them?

They do look good.  What do your moulds look like?

Hi, they haven't been aged yet, this after about 3-4 days air drying.

As for the molds..I don't have any yet, I`m mid way through a build of one.
They were actually pressed in a small plastic bin about 7 inches wide and a saucer used as a follower.

Great start Nick.  So will you introduce your Thai friends to cheddar, or selfishly keep them all to yourself?  Me, I'm selfish - mostly.  What do you think about a bit more color next time?

Really great looking cheese Nick! Hey you might start a fad there. Authentic American style cheddar. Great job!

In my opinion, making them was the easy part, the hardest part is waiting for them to age, I can't wait to try one

Nick,
I agree that aging is the toughest part.  How do you plan to age them?

I have waxed them and converted an old fridge I have, obviously I have to be careful living in a tropical climate
