Hi All,

I have just made a 1.7kg wheel of parmesan that is drying out of cave for 3 days, on the 4th day i will be going away for 7 nights. What should I do in terms of storage and location.
thanks

Have a friend tend to it as you would if you were there.

Is your cave temperature and humidity controlled?
If so i would just put it in the cave, ideally you would have someone come in and flip it for you each day. If you can't you will most likely be ok, the cheese may end up with an uneven bulge, but with some time up the other way you should be ok.

Ps I am in Melbourne, not close to you, but I understand why you were hoping to find a chesemakimh budy to ask questions of close to home.  They would also be able to baby sit cheese!

Paul,
I usually put brined cheese in the cave straight out of the brine. You should be ok to put the Parmesan in the cave when you leave.
