Title: Orange mould
Post by: kleokat on August 12, 2016, 05:12:10 AM
Hi All

My orange mould query in the camembert specific board seems to be getting quite a few views but no responses - surely I've not created frankencheese and someone out there knows about this orange invader???

I thought I'd post here as well just in case. Please see the cam board for more specifics about the make etc. Since I left the other post, the mould has increased. It is certainly orange and not red or orange/brown. I thought maybe b. linens but not sure.

My other query was if anyone had seen a similar start up of the pc mould (sort of little bumps)? I didn't use geo this time and whilst it looks funny at the start by the end the cheeses are covered in a lovely smooth white.

Thanks

Could be Frankencheese.
It's hard to know but my guess would be B Linens. Doe it have that typical BL aroma?
The only thing that comes to mind with the lumps is Geo. You say that you did not add any but in my experience it often turns up uninvited.

I would second that and say it is likely to be B Linens as well.

Thanks for the info. If it's b.linens I should be able to eat it. Yes no geo added, perhaps I picked it up inside the wine fridge. It doesn't seem to have that dirty sock smell.
