I added a bit of annatto to give it some color. I'm also letting it develop a natural rind (instead of bagging), and it's clearly understanding my wishes
1st pic is at about 1 week. Pierced it at around 2 weeks, and took 2nd pic. It's developing normally in the cave @ 50F. Will update when I cut it in a month or two.

Looking good!
I was wondering what was under the cloth in your cave pic

I pulled it from here:
https://www.cheesemaking.com/ShropBlu.html
I'm an idiot, it's not a gorgonzola. It's a Shropshire Blue, whatever that is. My intention was to make a gorgonzola, and I went looking around the webz for a recipe (I have one book, but I thought I'd search anyway). In my rambling around, I found this recipe and used it and completely lost track of the fact that I had changed cheese types, though besides the color I'm not sure the differences. Anyway, it's cheese, it's blue, and it looks good so far so I don't much worry about the classification.

Mmmm. 6 months old, just now cutting into this thing. Had some for lunch today.
It's a slice of heaven. Not nearly as pungent as the stilton I make often. Also, fairly hard cheese, but slices easily and not crumbly at all.

I really like that cheese, it looks fabulous. I was looking for a hard sliceable blue and I have the roquefortii culture, so it's on my to-do list. Thank you for sharing the pictures!

That is one beautiful, beautiful looking cheese. The veins, the color, the rind, the description. Great job. AC4U.

Looks good! I just finished eating the last of my Fourme d'Ambert. Need to make another blu.
Maybe will give this one a try.

Andrew's Shropshire is what finally made me decide I needed to learn how to make cheese. It's the picture I show people when they want to know why I want to make cheese!
