Hi every one I am new to making cheese and I just made my first batch of Camembert .. looks good, seems to be covered in white mold but is it suppose to actually grow in size.. or have I done something wrong..

It can become fluffy and have volume to it,
Its ready to be transfered to a cooler spot once its completly covered.
Leaving it warm will cuase the PC to "over" amoniate.

 Hi Tomer1,
        You also need to pat the cams.  Once you have a full cover of penicillium candidum softly pat the top, bottow and sids once every day or so.  This will keep the groth under control.
