Yup. 2x Seperate 19 Litre batches. One got anatto & the other not.
Originally I wanted to make the top yellow & the bottom white, but as I placed the curds in the mold I remembered that I forgot to add salt, so I had to mix them. Still, it came out pretty good I think. I like to be creative with my cheese. LOL  ;D

Looks great, I bet it will taste just as good as it looks.
I wish mine would look that good, I always have trouble with fold marks from the cheese cloth, but I'm working on it.

Not wanted to threadjack, Illiterate, see our Wiki: Surface Defects, Cracks for causes of those fold lines and our Wiki: Pressing Cheeses article on how to minimize them.

That looks delicious!! I was wanting to make a batch of cheddar just like that, even before I saw the pictures. I really like how the cheese looks, and making two batches won't be extra work for me because I already need to make two batches using two 2-gallon pots. (I don't have any larger pots.) Now I just need my annatto to arrive. It is frozen in transit somewhere between Ontario and BC, thanks to the postal strike that went into effect a few days after my order was shipped.

Yep.I prefer cheddaring than stirred. I'm very happy with how it came out. I made a Derby cheese yesterday & wow! What a labour intense cheese to make! I hope it tastes good since it was alot of work cutting, drying, milling etc...

I want to make a cheese with glazed cherries in it. What do you think> Will a gouda do?

PS. Here is a pic of my 2x pots.

A young Gouda would be good, I could also see a bloomy rind with cherries too.

Are you using the whisk (second picture) to cut the curd into cubes?

Sometimes, but not always. I want to make a harp some time coz the whisk isn't the right size throughout.
