Caerphilly #2

[JeffHamm]

Hi,

The "peach" is probably just wild b.linens.  I get something similar all the time on a lot of my cheeses.  The mould looks like blue mould.  Treat with salt and vinegar.  Shouldn't be a problem.  It does look like there's a hole in your rind around the 9 o'clock position, so the mould may get inside your cheese.  If the internal knit is loose, you'll end up with mould throughout.  When you cut it, cut out a wedge that includes the hole.  You may be able to contain it.

Just though I add this image as it shows the 'peachy' coloured patches on mine as well.  This is from 11 Mar 2012.  The rind is lovely and hard and the whole fridge has this wonderful full cheesy smell my 6 month Manchego is also in the same fridge.

There is always a Caerphilly in our fridge it is lovely with a slight tang to it.  The 'two legged mice" don't leave much after it is cut.  Hope yours is as popular !

Yep that what mine look like - before the rats get to it - But that is what I make them for.  I'm lucky that my family all enjoy my cheese, especially this one.

Cutting day

it is extremely creamy with a SUPER mild tang in the background but I definitely enjoy it. Not very salty, but you can tell the salt is there. Completely different than Caerphilly #1. And the cheese finalized out at just under 1 kilo.

Fantastic looking interior!  And it sounds like it's got the right taste profile too.  A cheese to you for your success!
