Title: Buttery Taste & Adding Morel MushroomsTo Brie Recommendations
Post by: murmur on October 30, 2012, 03:09:37 PM
I am a chef by trade and so much of my cheesemaking will be trying to make amazing cheeses with unusual or interesting flavor profiles..
I still want subtle natural flavors that will compliment the buttery-ness of a great brie.
Is that buttery-ness from the fat or is it from the culture?

At what point do I incorporate the mushrooms? Is it best to rehydrate the dried mushrooms or should I make a dried mushroom powder and sprinkle in the centre of the mould when I am scooping in the moist curd?
Thank you in advance for your responses.

Both. Also from rind flora.

This. No need to rehydrate.
