Title: Cheddar went in the Brine
Post by: steffb503 on April 29, 2016, 03:03:48 PM
Uggh!
I was in a rush and totally spaced that cheddar should not be brined.
What will I end up with? Edible?

Did you salt it AND brine it or just brine it? Everything is edible.

I would rinse off the brine with warm tap water, age it, and eat it. I'm sure that it will be fine. If it turns out to be a little salty after aging, you can always use it as an ingredient cheese instead of a cracker cheese. :)

It's comforting knowing other folks screw up too, thanks for sharing :)  I'm sure it will make a fine cheese sauce or macaroni ..... Just remember to skip the salt in the rest of the recipe !
