As a cheese novice, I love my cheese. But during the process, my cheese was slightly bitter, which my family and children didn't like. The cause of bitterness has not been found. I tried to reduce rennet, added calcium chloride, salt without iodine, this is my latest cheese, which was on October 18, and it has been aged for 10 days. How long will it take to eat?

welcome!
I am also new to cheese-making.
The first lesson I learned is that cheese needs to be stored for a long time before you eat them.
It can take years, months. A cheddar usually needs 6 months up to 2 years. If you try it before there won't be much flavour.
There are some cheeses that are quicker maybe a month or two, but you must get used to waiting for it to be ready.
There are some cheeses that you don't need to wait long for. If you look at recipes you will see there are some that only need a few weeks.
I'm sure you will soon be making tasty cheese.
There are others on this forum who know lots more than me. I'm sure they would be glad to help you out.
