Title: It's blue and delicious!
Post by: mdmoore00 on April 30, 2013, 06:20:11 PM
My first attempt at blue was a success! I followed the Flor Azul recipe in Mastering Artisan Cheesemaking, and other forum discussions. I aged in my "new" cave (repurposed frigde) for six weeks. I went with the slurry method and used some Rouge Creamery Oregon Blue. The result was medium/strong pc flavor and light saltiness.

Looks great!  I made a blue following the same recipe the 20th of March, I am planning on cracking into it on the 15th/16th of May (we have guests coming from South Africa).  I would be thrilled to have as good a result as you, but I can already tell it will be much much different.  Yours made a beautiful rind, and mine almost didn't even make one at all... we'll see I guess in a couple of weeks what it looks like inside.  Congratulations!

My cave is a fridge in my dirt floor basement... you can smell the wild molds just floating around. Makes for great rinds.

It turned out every way it should have, and creamy! I hope I didn't use up all of my cheese Karma on this one... might have to ruin a mozz this weekend to make-up for it.

Karma is a bugger! I should have tried a simple cheese this weekend... The Valencay I "made" this weekend was yogurt. At least the Blue is very good eating still.

Valency Yogurt sounds like it should be on the menu of a very expensive restaurant!  perhaps in crepes?  With wild crafted Manchurian apricots and a drizzle of lavender honey.  (and a HUGE bill at the end!)

Yeah, what's the major malfunction with iPads? Why can't a user have control and manipulate their pics?  ::)

Yeah, and how come there's no data such as time/date attached to the photos?  No way to create a memo either as far as I know.   ::)

I have an ipad I use primarily for business purposes, but I am relatively sure there should be an app that will allow for the manipulation of pics..

The problem is that they look right side up in the photo gallery and even in the preview when uploading.
