Hi all, Its been a while since i have made any cheese and posted here, but like many of you, I seem to have an abundance of free time these days.
That being said I got back into cheese making a bit and started with a tilsit and a stilton. Bold choice for a novice but these are some of my favourite cheeses and it seems you can't buy tilsit in my area any more.
Things started out great with some blue mold, then it exploded within a matter of 5 days.
Currently its sitting at 3.5 weeks and the blue is sort of giving way to a orange luster. In between there were some obvious P. Cand. blooms.
I originally was going to ask about the mold progression and if this was normal but after a deep dive in this forums rabbit hole of info it seems this is common.
Super pumped to cut into this guy in a couple weeks.
Cheers
Al
