My 2 day old cheddar cheese smells sour? Is this a bad sign?

[stemo]

Hi! I am making Cheddar for the first time and followed the process correctly. When removing it from the mould after pressing it had a strong sour off milk smell. I'm concerned this is a bad sign as i've not smelt this when making other aged cheeses like gruyere. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks so much.

Hi Stemo, maybe you can elaborate a little about the recipe you are using.
