Oookay this has made my day. I've been laughing for the last ten minutes or so. I'd edit it, but it's too good a joke to lose.

The explanation is that I had one picture from that day on my computer, and of course assumed it was a cheese picture, whereas it was actually a picture of a chicken I had taken to paint.

And it seems I actually do have no picture from that day, but here's yesterday's. I had washed all the geo off, but there's more today. You'll see.

Regardless of what colour you use, the real trick is getting the chicken to stay still long enough to cover her completely. :)

But really, Alp, what ought I to do about the geo?

Just wash it, and pretend it isn't there

It's not a problem.
It will either die over time, or it won't. Either way is good

Once the rind gets older, if you still have geo it will be beneficial and give you a nice white dusting

The idea with a washed rind, in theory, is to isolate wild bacteria. In reality we get a lot more than just bacteria. Geo is one thing we often get, it's no problem.
My cheese tends to get geo on it, and sometimes it makes the rind a little wrinkly. But I like the added depth of flavor it adds. Straight up linens can be a little.. unpleasant but when we add diversity of other cultures it's actually quite nice.

Just to clarify, that's a wine wash on the cheese ... though a wine wash on the cheese maker might also do something for the smell, or at least the perception of it!

How long should I age this?

It's at almost a month now... I want something milder than Limburger or brick yet not overly mild. What would it be like at one and a half, two months?
