Goat stinky
« on: December 23, 2015, 03:38:44 AM »
Well goats can be pretty stinky anyway... I had almost a gallon of lovely raw goat milk from my volunteer "job", and I decided to try another washed rind. Trouble is, I kept no records, because I was just playing around and I have no idea what date I made it. I think it would have been about 5 to 6 weeks ago. I based the make on the recipe in Caldwell for Pholia Farms washed rind using FD. I did not have any of the ripening starter, so I just did not worry about that. I washed it regularly with light brine made from white wine and salt. Today I measured the pH of the rind at 7.7, and cleaned off the blues one more time and then wrapped it in ripening paper. It had a much more pink color that in the image, and it has quite a lot of give under the rind! Looks like it will be tasty in a few more weeks!! Funny that my other experiment with a stinky did not get much pink, even though I tried innoculating the light brine with a purchased cheese. And this one turned pink without trying....

Linens does take time to be established, so maybe that's it. Looks nice!

Too bad this was so small!! It is gone gone gone! And what a lovely cheese it was. Very nicely soft all the way through and with a delicate flavor in spite of its aroma!
I think more washed rind cheeses will have to be in my future!!
I even ordered some PLA ripening culture!

Susan, a cheese from me also.  I have become quite fond of PLA.
