I think I like stinky cheese!
« on: October 31, 2016, 04:33:46 AM »
It took me awhile of making cheese before I was ready to dive into something stinky....
I do enjoy them now! Too bad no one else in the family does... Well maybe that is okay!
This one used the recipe in Caldwell's book for Pholia Farms washed rind. Instead of FD I used MCLAR (from Artisan Geek).
The acidification was slow on this compared to what I expected, but the flavor is very good!
I have space issues in my cave - not enough of it - and not much room for mini-caves inside of it. One of the 2 cheeses from this make was too wet, and the rind was too fragile and slippery, so it had to go into the house frig sooner than desired.
The second one is aging more slowly in the cave. It will be fun to see how they compare!

A cheese to you for the amazing colours. Great looking cheese.
I can well understand you enthusiasm for the stinkies and not having to share sounds like a bonus.

Kinda Halloween-scary, Susan.

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

Hi Susan,
That looks fantastic! I'm impressed at how you have expanded your cheese making. BTW, I think back to those blood oranges with very happy memories. Thanks again!
Jim.
