Bloom Climate - Small Container Conditions

[tal_d1]

Hello all,
I made my first Camembert and i put it in my refrigerator in a plastic box.
The box is totally closed and i put a glass of water inside for humidity.
Should i make some holes in the plastic box for air circulation ?
Thanks.

No, keep it intact. If you're getting a little condensation inside the lid, wipe it off with a clean cloth or paper towel. If you're getting a lot of condensation (if it's starting to drip on your cheese), then remove the glass of water. A damp paper towel underneath the mat (not touching the cheese) worked well for me. Some people leave the lid of the ripening container ajar, but if it's in your regular fridge, it's probably safer to leave it closed & regulate the humidity another way.

No need for water, the cheese itself will produce all the moisture needed in this micro climate.

OK, i took the water outside and keep the box close in the refrigerator.
It is already five days there and no mold at all. should i be worry ?

Is this a 4c degrees home fridge?  If so mold development and complete coverage may take much longer to form.
