My Castle Blue (#1)

[Boofer]

Thanks for the cheeses, guys.

Anxious to start a Stiltonesque soon to start the year.

I'd like to have a blue with a slight tang, creaminess, and optimal salt.

very nice castle blue .

What diameter are these and how much milk did you use? I am planning on making my first blue soon but I've been wondering about the minimum size for a veined blue.

Oh that looks gorgeous! My first attempt at a Castle Blue turned out to be a black-blue-brown gloopy mess but, having seen yours, I might just give it another go. Thanks for the motivation, Boofer!

You're welcome, Kaz.

Check out other blues examples on the forum. I just posted a Fourme d'Ambert I did. There are lots of other fine examples to emulate. Keep on trying.

Again, a fantastic result with a cheese seldom tried by most.  AC4U for your success!!
