Strange color on cheese!
« on: March 24, 2021, 05:41:30 PM »
I have been making cheese about 10 years, but this is a new one for me!

The color in one side of this thermo/washed curd make, one week old, is a luminescent yellow! In real life very similar to the color of a yellow highlighter!

Any ideas?

Sounds like it may be pseudomonas fluorescens. http://cheeseforum.org/forum/index.php?topic=12484.0
