I just reread my post , I hope it was understood that that advice was for Lantgladstone's cheese issue and not Vnatures cheese

Thank you all for the kind words. The Munster was really yummy. I experimented with different "smeared-rind" cheeses like Reblochons, Pont l'Eveque etc. but this Munster was the best by taste. Thank you once again.

Got to love the schmier!

Any pics or details on your other "smeared-rind" cheeses? They're a favorite of mine.

I like the look of your Munster. Have a cheese.

Let's ferment something!
Bread, beer, wine, cheese...it's all good.

I love them too. Thanks for the cheese.  :D

I don't have much experience in cheesemaking. But here are several pictures and some details. This Reblochon was the third cheese I made in my life. I was very overconfident  ;D. Nevertheless the cheese was not bad at all. But not ripe enough, with the firm core.

Another cheese was Pont l'Eveque. Unfortunately I had to leave it unattended for 3 weeks because of the vacation. When I came back I found it overripe. It smelled like a garbage dump. And tasted toooo sharp. My wife couldn't eat it so I ate it alone.   :o

There was the failed Limburger after that but I accidentally deleted the pics. There was the good Munster after all and my wife said she could hardly survive with that smell in the kitchen >:D But time heals and now I have a couple of ripening Reblochons, 1 kilo each.

And I suddenly got the smear-ripened Gorgonzola Dolce. Insidious B.linens attacked it and I followed Al Lewis's advice. I air it 1 hour a day at room temperature to form the rind. It's stinky like a scrapyard  :o

I cut the first failed Bree. It's firm and sour.  Absolutely uneatable.
