Nothing we haven't covered before. Wait longer before piercing = slower ripening because blue will have less oxygen. Increase salt gradient = slower ripening due to blue inhibition.

rogue is a special cheese because for the classic blue, the approach is to both do a gradient, and cultivate surface flora ambient in the environment, and then wrap in leaves. It's an extremely well conceived and executed blue, right down to the milk choice for natural PF balance.

And some pics of my 2nd batch of blue cheese...

All looking good

I'm going to cut one this weekend, it will be about two weeks older than the first blue I made....I really should leave it longer but I'd like to see the difference two weeks makes
