So 2 months is up.. and the result is in!
There is only a hint of sharpness in the taste, and it is a bit whiter than I expected. I've kept half for eating and waxed the other half to age for another couple of months to see if it is any better. A little bit of time out of wax before I taste a bit more.
Rather chuffed as to how it went, it's edible and while not the flavour I wanted it's a starting place!
So, moral of the story, if your cheese looks like this after pressing don't despair! You can still end up with a cheese at the end
