Yeah, I based my "hacked" recipe on videos of folks in France and Switzerland making the cheese so it's going to be different, and perhaps wrong, but they show them lightly pressing the curds and PC growth on the bark so that was the basis for my questions.

pc  is super dominant when it has been growing in the same place for 50 years plus but not when its a small wine fridge with multiple types of mold around .

Okay Danbo, I couldn't resist any longer.  In 3-4 weeks I'm having a cheese party with me and the wife. LOL

  Yep, the red wax is a 4 pound cheddar.  I did a 5 pound Tomme with mycodore in it and a 4.5 pound muenster.  Just finished the Mont d'Or today so I'll have to find something else to fill the cave.  Thinking about putting the waxed cheeses in the door. ;D

Boofer I actually tried to ship some cheese to Alp back when he showed me how to make the Mutschli but it went sour before it got to him and cost me a fortune to ship. LOL

I actually bought in to his creamery project way back in time. It has been a while now since then, but I think I may actually see some of the fruits of his Swiss canton labors soon. Either that, or I got hoodwinked. ::)

Started to see the first signs of PC growth on these this morning while flipping.  Not enough to photograph but there should be plenty there tomorrow, hopefully.  :o

I find it interesting that when making these the Mont d'Or in Switzerland is made with pasteurized, actually it's thermized, milk and the only difference with the French is the name and the use of raw milk.  They are all known as Vacherin in the local area they are made.  They pick up the Mont d'Or and du Haut-Doubs based on the area they were made.

Yeah, I passed on that offer.  Haven't seen much of him lately.  That's a shame as he brought so much knowledge to the forum.  I wonder if he ever finished and sold the video he was making?
