What should I do now with my 3 wk old Cheddar?
« on: February 15, 2011, 03:18:06 PM »
3 weeks ago I made my first cheddar.  After a week of Air Drying I placed in the Cheese Fridge (temp 48-51F-thermostat dial taped in place for now) and it has been quite happily sitting there. I have good solid rind and it seems to be doing ok.   I have not seen any mold or blemishes on it at all (it might help that it is the only cheese in there right now)  I should be placing my gouda I made on saturday in with it in the next few days.

I guess my question is what now, do I have to do anything special to it now that I will have another cheese in there with it?

They will need a chaperone or they will breed. ;D So make more cheese ASAP.
