Hi from the UK,
I recently cracked into my first (raw) goat's Caerphilly.
Please see pictures.
I brushed down the surface a few times over the course of its three weeks in the cave, and am pleased with how it turned out. The texture and taste were as expected, and it went down well with friends.
I intend to break into my 2 month aged Caerphilly this evening, and I have another Caerphilly and a drunken goat awaiting consumption over Christmas and New Year.
Next year, I will try some longer-aged cheeses, and hopefully some bloomy and washed rind cheeses too...
I am also thinking of getting a larger vat - my small London flat is slowly turning into a cheese factory!
Best wishes,
Neil
RobinsonN,
The real question how does it taste? Looks yummy.
Lovely! AC4U. But yes, we need a taste report!

RobinsonN,

Seconded.
It looks beautiful. Take a cheese, please.
The cheese was (unfortunately using past tense) clean and fresh, with a mild goat's cheese flavour, and a hint of nuttiness. The texture clung to the palate, as many goat's cheeses do. It went well with a little honey, and a good amount of white wine.
Thank you very much for the cheeses!
RobinsonN,
Your description of the taste makes my mouth water. Thanks
