Hey hey! This is my first Gruyère. Will be ready in 7-8 months.  ;D
Recipe from "200 Easy".

Nice looking cheese! I like the design on the rind.

Very nice picture (and cheese).

Wow, great looking cheese!

The pic says Day 3...with that color already? Really? If so, that's amazing.

Yeah, I like that mold imprint.

Let's ferment something!
Bread, beer, wine, cheese...it's all good.

Fix

Thanks. Yes, but it's with Annatto. :)

Yeah, a lot, huh?

Normally the color darkens and deepens as the cheese ages and dries.

Nope, just 3 drops for 5L of Milk. It's a little more than required  (2 Drops per Gal.).
You right, it was not so contrast before drying. Sure there is some color correction
but it's close to real colors. Today is the day of first wash! :D

Yes, that is great looking rind pattern.
Did you use cheesecloth with that mold ?
