Title: My first cheese - a funky Gorgonzola
Post by: mikey687 on December 05, 2015, 06:06:21 PM
Just decided to crack open the first cheese I have ever made. It was nerve racking knowing if it was the right time to do it before hand but it looks like I just about got it right - maybe a few days too late.

I made a Gorgonzola using Kefir and David Asher's recipe from his book. Followed his recipe as exactly as I could but it's a smaller sized cheese than the recipe calls for.

Taste is very strong and texture semi hard, really a picante Gorgonzola rather than a Dolce.

Fantastic! You are off to a great start! Might as well aim high for a first cheese! Thumbs up to you!
