Taleggio with an error
« on: January 12, 2016, 10:51:21 PM »
I made this 3 gallon Taleggio this past weekend. I forgot that the Chymax I used was double strength so it seems a little over hard.

Recipe was from Artisan Cheesemaking At Home using MM100, linens and I added a little TA 50 per Caldwell's recipe.

In the cave right now after brining and drying. Will see how it comes out...

Hope it softens up for you when it ripens.  Can't think why it wouldn't though.

It may take a tad longer to soften but it should still be OK.

One day I will add something here...

I figure even if it remains a bit tough, at least I have a new version maybe?

How long did you brine it?

Let's ferment something!
Bread, beer, wine, cheese...it's all good.

I'm so bad at follow-ups.

So, as predicted, it was harder than taleggio and didn't run at room temp. However, it was delicious. It melted well with cooking. I made piedinas with it, which are basically flour tortillas with the cheese, arugula (rocket) and speck.

Delicious!
