Title: Some discolorations out of the press on my cheddar
Post by: dilleh on October 19, 2017, 12:28:16 PM
I just pulled a new cheddar out of the press after 12 hours, and I've seen a few areas of discoloration on both sides.  They don't appears to be just on the surface, which has me worried.

Any ideas?

Looks like blue, PR, but that shouldn't turn up that quick.  You did sterilized the molding all of the equipment, right?
