Why ladle curds? - Stilton

[FarmerJd]

My Blue is great. It didn't have as much blue veining I wanted, but the flavor is great. I am at 90 days now and I eat it every day.

Yeah! Go Jd! Happy to hear all that scrambling to figure out more ways to hang curd to drain was worth it.

[FarmerJd]

Yeah, definitely worth it. I will be eating blue for a lonnnnnggggg time. I think I wound up with about 12-15 lbs. Very thankful for all the help I got on here.

I cut into my stilton about a week ago. Sorry no pictures. The interior blue-ing was pretty good and it tastes great. It is a little drier and crumblier than I had hoped for. My aging was a little less humid than I would have liked, and perhaps not enough cream in the milk to start. Otherwise, a very acceptable cheese.

It is still sitting quartered wrapped in aluminum in the fridge. Next time I take it out I'll take a picture before I dig in.

well it seems you waited about 10 weeks, good work. Looking forward to seeing the rind.
