Blue mold powder not dissolved
« on: May 21, 2011, 03:13:04 AM »
I just made a 4 gal batch of fourme d'ambert.  When I added the mold, it did not completely dissolve.  There were blue flecks in the curds; but, there were also some blue flecks that wouldn't disolve and stayed on the surface of the whey.  When I added the curds to the 5" molds, the top of one of the cheeses had alot of specks.

Does the mold usually dissolve completely, or is it usually still visible in the curds?

Thanks.  John

The mold does not dissolve. It often seems like it wants to float, but it's throughout your cheese.
