It's blue and delicious!

[mdmoore00]

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.

LOL  a cheese for your excellent cheese (and humor)!!!

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..
