It looks pretty good though.  Get a nail brush and just brush it a bit each day.  You should be able to cut into it in a week.  Well done.

as long as its not penetrating or consuming the whole cheese, im not too worried bout the blue, yet... but yes I purchased a pair of dish brushes from IKEA that are super soft and I have been using those to brush them down.

Not significantly. Maybe in a microscope or something.

So happy I didn't wait!  I have only tried one commercial Caerphilly but this one hits is close to spot on with texture and moisture content, least by my tongue, and mine is a bit more acidic, tangier even.  *will that mellow out with time or increase?*

Well done!  It mellows with age, but it will retain that tang for a while.  Looks really good.  A cheese for your success.

Ah I hate when that happens - ruins your taste for things for life.

Bummer!  It's not the cheese, just an unfortunate series of events.  I'm sure you'll be able to eat it again, but perhaps go for a bagel and cream cheese when you're over the flu first.  Get well soon.
