Good mould or bad?
« on: June 08, 2015, 10:15:07 AM »
This is day 8 of my coastal blue cheese. Is this mould ok. Worried about bad mould appearing as that's what happened last time I made a Brie.

The orange could be BL (brevibacterium linens), the bacterium found on washed rinds. If it was a mould it would be furry.
It may indicate that the humidity is a bit high, especially if it is appearing after only 8 days.
