Goudas with different cream content

[5ittingduck]

2 Raw Milk (Jersey) Goudas.
Right is 20 litres of milk (has been drying a week), left is 15 litres of milk and 2 of cream.
It's going to be too big to fit in a vac bag next week, I will have to cut it in half to bag it.

It is amazing the difference in yield due to cream content.  The past 6 months my milk source has had widely fluctuating amounts of cream with similar results in yield differences.  Also of note is the improvement of melting quality with higher cream content.  My latest Colby was made with a relatively high amount of cream and the texture of the melted cheese is just incredible.  I will have to report on that project with pictures soon!

Fascinating! This sort of insight is really useful, particularly in pictorial form.
A cheese for you!
