Mold on oil/honey/cacao-rubbed cheese

[NewbieInNewHampshire]

I'd love a picture!  But it sounds just about right.  The yeast smell is pretty normal.  And then it goes exactly as you say -- equilibruim.  You may find that the white goes brown after a while.

We finally got to try it today! We waited 14 weeks, instead of the 13 the recipe recommends, due to the rind-cutting mishap in the beginning. It was good! I'll link to a pic below. Thank you for all of your advice. So very appreciated!

AC4U!  Rind looks great!  I notice some stripes in there.  Was that intentional, or did some mold get in through a crack somewhere?  Either way, it looks amazing :-)

Definitely intentional! Those are lines of cocoa that I sprinkled in as I was putting the curds into the mold.
