Doing My Second Taleggio

awakephd · March 03, 2015, 02:59:52 AM

Now I'm positively itching to try something with b. Linens ... :)

Cut this one into four squares and wrapped in cheese paper today. I'll leave it in the cave for a few more days then move it to the fridge.

Okay, just to close out this thread the cheese was amazing. Nice sharp tang to it. My buddies at work loved this one. :D

@AL... On a scale of 1 to 10 - 10 being 'So Ripe it'll crisp your nose hairs' how pungent is this ?? The reason I ask is that I'm try to assure my lovely wife that these are something to make and it won't really be a 'Smelly' problem. I do appreciate that there will be some but I don't know how to compare it to something As I've never made or Eaten one - But I want to make one !!

Please help..... any suggestions on other surface ripened ripened cheese that could pass as socially acceptable - - at least on the initial makes . . . >:D

I believe Münster is not overly odiferous.

Yo Stinky... Munster or Monster ?? Ok I'm game ... I'm searching the Forum for a make.. any suggestions ??

It's smelly but not overbearing. You should be okay with this one. The Epoisses are the real stinky ones. :'(

Ok... You've got me hooked... I have a bit of a break over Easter and I have Mary Karlins book and your adjustments and your sage experiences to draw on. So, in for a penny - in for a pound...

LOL Once they were wrapped there wasn't much to take a picture of. LOL

I believe I had one ot two small spots that I took out with a small brush and then sprayed with cognac. The cognac seems to keep most blue away.

Got any pics of how it is developing ? I'm getting into these wonderful smelling and amazing cheeses - but I'm such a noob at them..
