OK
I think I broke my cheese.
I bought a 'cheese cave' in the form of a wine fridge. The fridge was too cold (~45 degrees F) so I turned it to "Min" and turned the light on.
My GF came home last night and the temp in the cave was reading 74 DEGREES F!
The waxed cheeses were leaking (read damp) 'oil'. The natural rind was leaking at least the olive oil that I had rubbed on it and was a little 'wavy' on the surface. The 'oil' smells like cheese.
The cheeses had started at 46 degrees and heated to 74 over a 12-14 hour peroid.
Will these cheeses recover in my now 55 degree garage?
Should I eat them now? Will they stop ripening?
Thanks in advance,
Knoal
