Cheeseman on Lopez Island, Washington
« on: December 13, 2009, 06:52:51 PM »
I am pleased to have found this website and forum of kindred cheesemaking spirits.

Being obsessive compulsive about eating and drinking good food, I grow and produce as much myself as possible, with priority on everything fermentable: Bread, beer, cider, wine, charcuterie, sauerkraut, and I have now moved to conquer my last personal frontier: Cheese.

I have identified five cheeses that I would like to have available to me all the time: Muenster, Manchego, Camembert, Blue and Saint-Paulin (Port-Salut).  The first two are now ripening, camembert is forming and the last two will be made this week.

Hi Plasbo,

Welcome to the forum, I also want to try a washed rind cheese but first I need a humidity chamber like Ben's or Sailor's one.

Show us some pictures...
