What is more likely to jump cheeses?
« on: September 26, 2009, 12:36:34 AM »
I have two caves available, and I want to make Blue, p. Cand. cheeses, and Swiss.

What would the best placement be?  Blue alone with P. Cand and Swiss?  P. Cand. alone and Blue with Swiss?

Or are Blue and P. Cand. both massive jumpers?

From what I have read blues are the worst or best depending on how you look at it.

So it can be contained?  I had heard of p. cand. jumping onto blues.

Baby Chee, good question, I think it's been discussed before but I can't find where.

My understanding but I could be wrong (if so someone please correct me) is that:
  • Both P roqueforti and P candidum will jump.
  • P candidum is the more robust.
I'd keep both away from your Swiss!

PS: A different topic, but many blue cheeses like Danish Blue are made with both P roq & P candidum like Rosenborg, click on USA then History tab to get details.

P roqueforti is the most "violent", so keep it isolated. I age Camemberts and other cheeses in the same fridge cave, never experienced problems.
