Montasio - Aged, Peppery Aftertaste

[amblepath]

Hi.  I opened up a Montasio I had stored for almost a year  It looked good and the texture was good.  The initial taste was good but then came a peppery aftertaste that kind of sizzled on the tip of your toungue.  It was a real turnoff.  Made me wonder if something had gone bad.  No ill effects from eating it though.  Wondered it was the Lipase?  Or too much acid?  Any Ideas?  Thanks.

Amblpath- It could well be the lipase which of course adds that characteristic sharpness. After a year of aging you should have a sharper flavor also. Post your make notes for us to take a look at,that way we can dissect it a little closer. I don't think the cheese is bad-I would go ahead an enjoy it for what it is.

Hi.  I followed Ricki Carols Recipe. Also I aged it in the plastic sealer bags if that could have made a difference. 
I have another one I made a couple of weeks after this one.  I'll open it and see if it's the same.
