Here's my six week old Blue Castello--very creamy and mild tasting. The top cheese has been scraped and the bottom is still forming molds. At first, I was scraping this cheese weekly, then decided to just let it go on it's own. Anyone ever try this?

Very nice Brie.

This is the same thing as Castle Blue. I have made that a couple of times from the recipe in 200 Easy Homemade Cheese Recipes. A great cheese. I may have to do a couple next week. I would like to do a Blue Pyrenees, but can't get sheeps milk. That really makes me blue. ::)

Do you scrape yours weekly or just let the mold run wild until aged?

I was anal at first scraping and brushing everyday sometimes. Not I just let the crust grow and do its thing. The crust ends up being really intensely tasty. My friends love the natural rind.
