Hi Pam, Buffalo Milk has a rich creamy taste , Chaource made from buffalo milk is a mild with a mushroom smell . can be eaten at 2 weeks but aged longer will give more intense flavor.

Kind of blurry but looks good and ripe!

Chaource is a thing of beauty, both visually and on the palate. With buffalo milk, I can imagine the taste is beyond belief! Looks as though you used a St. Maure mold, correct? If you've made more than one, I would age one for another few weeks to enjoy the further complexities of this treasure.

Yes Brie, the longer it ages the more flavourful it gets, i have a friend who tasted it at 6 weeks ,He said that " it smells like my foot but its good "lol ,although I havent tried the real thing. Could anyone tell me if that is what my friend think it is?

Looks nice from what I can see.

[Brie]

Well, I think you should smell your friend's feet to make an educated guess. Have you let any age for this long? I aged one of mine for 2 months and it really does take on a different taste and texture. It firms up and becomes quite brilliant.

Is this from Water Buffalo milk? Sounds and looks good. There are a few Water Buffalo farms in the U.S. but unfortunately still not very common.
