Aging Robiolini Smell like spoiled milk

[bansidhe]

So, I tried to make the Robiolini from cheesemaking.com.  I have no doubt that it will NOT be like the cheese they made but I though it would be interesting if nothing else.  Anyway, I have the aging in plastic containers in the basement where temp is anywhere from 50-59 degrees but usually about 55-57. I have smelled a few and the smell in the container is like spoiled milk.  :-(.   Is this cheese bad?   If so, what a pity because they look so pretty!  Also, what do you think the cause is?   Thanks!

Aging cheeses smell... weird.  Often super weird.  Likely no issues :-)

Ok. It smells soooo bad.  I have 5 cheeses.  2 seem pretty good and dont smell so much.   The other three really stink.  Perhaps not coincidentally the three that smell are in slight smaller containers.  Here are two pics.Onecheese you can see it has some spots not covered in white mold, the spots are kind of a cream color.  That cheese STINKS.  (picture #1)  Is it B Linens?  If so, can it be saved? One cheese looks fairly well covered in white mild and does not smell.  That's in pic number 2

I'll try to help, but can you please trim your photos?  Those pictures are 95 megs each!

Yes, I am very sorry, I was unaware

I don't see anything wrong with these cheeses.  Just keep the humidity down.
