Greetins my dear cheese amateur !
I am Nico, french cook living currently in Paris.
I found this forum by searching for some cheese recipes, indeed, I would like to start making cheeses, especially Camembert, Chèvre Sandré, Fourme d'Ambert - good start I guess ?
The next year, I'll be travelling to Colombia, in the jungle, where I will prepair these delicious cheeses, and I would love to read the advices from the community about making cheeses in particular conditions.
Indeed, the project I'm joining there is about ecology, nature-friendly and low human-impact over the nature : animals and plants ;
I have to admit I never tried doing any cheeses, so I'll just throw a few questions and see where it brings me
It is possible to make cheeses, without using plastic molds ; maybe by using coconut shells, or wood ?
I see many pages selling cultures, but since I'll be living in the amazonia, I wont have a good access to shops, and delivery does not exist, is it possible to make my own cultures, i.e buying one bag, and then let them grow by myself (Again, no plastic, coconut shells
)
Just like cultures, the other ingredients, is it possible to "make" them, or gather them in the nature ?
Can't wait to start making cheeses, I've a few topics and your cheeses are am-a-zing!!!
Cheers!
Nico
