Title: Another young Butterkäse
Post by: Danbo on April 02, 2015, 06:50:16 PM
Opened a Butterkäse from 11 february 2015.


Once again I was surprised how flavorfull this cheese is after this short ripening time.

What age has it tasted best at?

It's a bit embarrasing to admit... The oldest butterkäse I have made was gone after around two months of ageing...


I think I like cheese to age a bit but my wife like the cheese to be mild...


I would guess that it's peaking after around two months of ageing. One of the characteristics of this cheese is after all the short ripening.

Looks great Danbo. I think I'll need to give it a go also. I've added another cheese to your collection.

Just tended my cheeses for the day and gave my failed Butterkäse a good healthy drink of fine cognac.  Misted it completely and put it into the cave to age a bit.

Thank you for the cheeses. :-)


Al: Please refresh my memory - what went wrong with your Butterkäse?
