They are like plants, they're happier if you play them music!!  LOL  That cheese is looking great!!!

Oh Yeah !  Slow Cooked Blue ! This is going to be a beauty - Hey what do I know ? I've only made one and I haven't even tasted yet ... I just feel it  .  How could it not be with very proud Parents and 100's of Aunts and Uncles in the wings...

Ageing - day 11:

Big Blue has gone
Deep under cover - deep deep under cover 

Now there is a good cover og blue mold  all over. I decided to rub the sides just using my hands. The idea is to make the cover on the sides as ven as possible and perhaps to slow the growth on the sides a bit. I don't know if it works out well... Let's hope so..

The mold smells exactly like mushrooms.

Ps. I think that Big Blue is actually more green than blue...

[LoftyNotions]

OH NO!!!! NOT GREEN!!!

Just kidding. Looking good.

What is the idea of the hole in your ripening box Danbo? Are you trying to limit humidity?

Shane

[Al Lewis]

Looking very nice Danbo!!

[Danbo]

Shane: I have drilled a small hole at each side of the box to enable a bit of air exchange. I also use the same principle for my bries. I'm not sure if it is a good idea but I think it works good.

Al: Thanks! :-)

Thanks Danbo. Yeah, I like the idea also. How do I give a cheese? Haven't worked that one out yet.

Thanks Shane. :-)

But please bear in mind that I'm not that experienced a cheesemaker. Before you drill holes in your boxes wait for someone more experienced to comment...
