Title: Cumin Butterkase custom recipe - Chile Cheese Cheese
Post by: DoctorCheese on April 22, 2017, 06:11:18 AM
I made this cheese with the intention of it tasting like a bowl of chile with melted cheese on top. I did a butterkase make with added cumin and red chili flakes. It is only 40 days old at the moment, but I opened it for a gathering early with the intention of vacc packing most of it. I think I did a damned good job of approximating the flavor profile I wanted. The cumin seeds add a nice textural component as well. No doubt it needs a few more months to age, but for right now it is a soft, delicious cheese that I think my friends will really like.

Update. I tasted this cheese after some more aging and it no longer tastes like how I planned it to. Whatever enzymes have been working during the last month have caused it to change in flavor profile. It is still good, but not what was planned.
