HKJ I saw yours and posted on the thread- looks good. When I let my cheeses go for 12 wks, they were overripened once I got my internal bluing better. I guess it's because I only make a 2# cheese. Mine are much better now that I ripen for 9wks. I think this cheese was ready last week tho. May try the next one 8 wks. This cheese was only pierced 4wks before opening and still got all that veining.
