Camembert slug and rose?????!!!!

[ivnamo]

Hello everybody,

I have a trouble making Camembert. All surface is greasy, slippery, slimy and even slug...no trace of PC. However, smell and taste is good/normal. Colour is slightly rose...

What is happening with my "cheese"?

Thank you.

Sounds like your curds might have needed a little more draining, or the ageing area is too humid. It also sounds like you have some b.linens growing. Did you mix up cultures? Make notes and pictures are always helpful.

Slip skin?

One thing about B. linens is that it keeps surfaces moist. I need to read more about its properties, but it really is hard to combat, IMO, especially on a camembert. Might be best to call it a reblochon or something else now. I'd still keep it going, but don't store any other cams with it.

I think that my ripening box is too humid and my hygrometer is wrong (60% or less ever and ever...). I will try to low humid and maintain in 12ºC.

Thank you!!!!
