What would happen to a cheese if someone were to accidentally heat it to about 150 degrees F for maybe 8-10 minutes during the cheddaring phase?? I am asking for a friend, obviously I would never make a mistake like that!
I know that all of the mesophilic cultures are likely dead, but will the cheese still turn out edible?
Did all,the curd get to that temp ?
This was just before pressing . Yes?
If just before presssing and right about salting time then no worries , the salt will stop all the cultures any ways .
If how ever it was way before this then eat it early as it will be more gouda like ( sort of )

I had already been cheddaring for about 45 minutes, so I would say it was about half cheddared. Thanks for the insight.
