There are just a few more variables. In the simpler semi-hard cheeses, you don't have to worry about mold except learning how to maintain a proper rind that isn't too dry or moldy.

These are all great pieces of information.  I love books and can't have enough... I should look at the 100 Easy Recipes (incorrect title).

A wag once said the we learn through our mistakes but it is usually cheaper to learn through the mistakes of others.  Dig into the Caldwell book and be sure to take her little quizzes at the end of some of the chapters.

Thanks!

Love it.  A friend of mine once commented that the only lessons you truly learn in life either cost you money or leave you with scar tissue.
