This morning I was in a bleu mood and decided I'd give this a go. It's been five weeks. The other one can perhaps go another five weeks.
I triered it and the core sample looked and tasted very creamy...not chalky. There was a slight tang to the palate when I first tasted this cheese. Rather nice.
Cutting into this cheese showed a very slight blue presence. Inside the foil wrapping the cheese grew Geo over the blue that had been so dominant. The wispy white growth extended perhaps a pencil-width from the cheese surface. It was easily tamped down.
This effort inspires me to put this little bleu on the RETRY list.
