First Fourme d'Ambert

[Hande]

Hi,
Here is my first Fourme d'Ambert and it seems alright. This cheese is now 7 weeks old.
Now I get better blue for inside, than my first blue cheese.
Now there is good blue taste inside.
I have now new FD in cave and I put some extra cream with milk so it get more creamy taste.
And I try to ripe that one least 3 month, if someone don't eat it before

Hande, that is one gorgeous cheese.  Congratulations.

Edit:  A special nod for your crafted thermometer holder.  With your chair-dutch press, you've got me both rolling, and sitting here with my jaw dropping in admiration, at the same time.

[Hande]

Thank you Arnaud.
This holder type is quick to remove and put it back again.
Those forks what are made at thin metal ( and also cheap ) are best, you can twist it easy and saw out extra spike.
And you can make a few those at different angle, depends of your milk level.

How pretty! The veining is definitively a success.

Absolutely beautiful.  How about posting a pix of your thermometer holder so we can see how you made it.  I would sure like to see that.

Hande,

I have one about a week behind yours and mine is smooth on the outside but otherwise looks the same. Did you add P.C. to it as well as the P.Roch?

[Hande]

I follow 200 easy homemade cheese recipe, I didn't use p.candidum.

I don't find any fork at all,   hey honey where you hidden all forks

Now I understand why your wife has hit the forks!

Hande, you are once again inspiring us...with your mechanical handiwork and with another remarkable cheese.

I love the look of the cheese outside and inside. Great job.

Hande,

Wow, what a beautiful cheese!
And I love, love, love that thermometer holder! I curse the one that came with my thermometer every time I make cheese. As soon as I can steal a fork from a cafeteria,  I'm going to try that myself!
