Hi
This is my first Cabra al vino (I used raw cow milk) after 10 days in the cave at 13C. 4-5 days ago, this fine white dust started appearing and it is very difficult to remove. I have tried brushing it off (cannot brush too hard though, otherwise part of the wine coating is also brushed away) and wiping with cloth and brine. Both seem to work but, after the cheese dries out (only about half an hour later), the dust is back. I was not worried at the beginning, but now it's growing more and more everyday. Does anyone know what it is? should I get rid of it, and if so, how?
Other options that I am contemplating are soaking in wine again or just vacuum pack it, but I am not sure either will work.
Thanks for the help!!
