Orange color under rind of Valencay
« on: October 09, 2017, 08:53:21 PM »
Hello, is my first time making Valencay and after two weeks I cracked the first one today. I noticed and orange color under the bloomy rind. It doesn't smell bad but I know that color is not normal. Do you know what can that be? Thank you in advance!!!

Hard to tell could be  B linens   Or just the curd oxidizing under the rind ( if it pulls away air can get in there )

Hello! I thought about Blinens too because I have a Morbier in the same wine cave, but I never added Blinens (to avoid cross contamination) just washed with salt and vinegar, and after a month the rind is not close to orange.
