Stilton in the make

[sofusryge]

Well, i cut the cheese today on day 60. Nice firm and creamy consistency, but not as much blue veining as i hoped for. Taste is rather mild blue with a slightly bitter note and a hint of sweetness that I'm yet to decide if i find desireable or not. My wife think it's nice though, and for a first try, i find it decent to. But not spot on like i hoped for. I think i need to purchase a more aggressive PR for the next blue.

Wow, that looks really nice too.  Everyone is cutting their blues lately!  I am feeling the peer pressure, think I will do it tonight  :-\

Yeah, there's a spree of Cut the Stilton going on. I found it quite exciting cutting into this cheese, as i had not sampled it in advance. There's a whole lot more visibly going on in a blue cheese than in a Caerphilly or a Cheddar. I must get myself a cheese trier, it can't be that difficult to craft from a piece of copper or ss tube. I would probably have waited a few weeks to cut this if i had known the level of bluing.

I think it looks great, a little less blue than I like, when I let mine sit in the fridge awhile the flavor intensifies a little and they blend together,
I'll bet it tastes great  :)

I made one from a piece of copper plate and a steel bar using only my vice and ordinary hammer. It's a bit rough but works fine and you can throw it in the dishwasher.
