Title: Bitter Rind
Post by: jerryg on October 09, 2012, 03:30:48 PM
Still very new at this.... Every batch I've made so far of lactic coags (crotins, Valencay, selles sur-cher) the paste flavor and texture is pretty good but I get an unpleasant back of the mouth bitterness in the rind.
And the rinds themselves seem a little tough & chewy. Really trying to achieve a softer overall finish.

thanks for any suggestions

Not enough acid, too much moisture, your geo grows too strong. This also fits the problem you described with the Camembert
