Quite nice John ;) and a cheese as well.  You will no doubt be enjoying these in the coming months.  You get some pretty significant bumps from added cream I see!  Thanks for the empirical data.  Looking forward to the "subjective analysis".

Yes, cream definitely adds to the final yield.  Over the past year, p/h milk has produced the smallest cheeses.
