You've done it, Harold. You've found a truly classic cheese from the Roman empire. Very rustic. ;)

Can't wait to see it when you open it.

hhhmmmmm that is odd.
Hey Boofer
Got out my handy dandy trier/peeler out and took a peek at the interior, We have PR growth all the way through, this is going to be a great Christmas blue cheese.

Hey Al,
I didn't realize how addicted I had become to my daily perusal of the forum--until I couldn't access it.
Sorta glad to know it's not just the spotty Costa Rican internet.
Obviously there is some updating going on, but does anyone have any more information? and when photos can be posted again?

John is handling it, I think. I too, went through withdrawal symptoms when I could not access the forum.  ;D
I am so happy to see your magnificent Stilton Harold...

Wow, that cheese looks like it had been lost for quite some time in a deep, dark cave somewhere. :o

Hoping the inner paste lives up to the promise that we all trust:
  • Looks can be deceiving.
  • Never judge a book cheese by its cover rind.
  • Beauty Ugliness is only skin rind deep.
  • You had me at...cheese. ;)
Waiting for the unveiling....

Come on down!!we'll have a good ole time ^-^
I have to say that it really came together. We were worried if the veining would be were we wanted it, it was, the paste is one we have been trying to achieve, the combination of paste and PR is close to what we have been trying to get, maybe a little more aging will make it happen :)
The rind in my opinion, not edible, will try to figure out how to fix it.
All in all this will be enjoyed.
The wife is planning a blue BBQ and I can't wait.
NOMNOMNOMNOMNOM ;D
Thank you for the cheese
