Thank you, by now that Gouda is long gone i couldn't wait the month for maturity. It was enjoyed thouroughly though. I just put 4 pounds of Havarti in the cave. I love Havarti. My new everyday cheese is my Manchego Fresco's they are easy and so delisous. It was a confirmation when i had some body tell me that they hate cheese especially from Spain and i let them blind taste my Manchego. They couldn't stop eating it. That's a great feeling
