New to cheese making but not to eating it. I've always enjoyed a challenge and doing things on my own so this venture is right up my alley. Broke open a petit blue over the holidays and was very happy with it, being my first cheese:
Welcome to the forum :)
Blue's are great, Mmmmmm
AC4U for your first cheese.
Welcome!
A blue for your first cheese? Wow.
AC4U for jumping right in there with both feet!
Thanks both of you. Having grown up on and partnered in a dairy for close to thirty years, I figured it's time to make something I really savor out of milk. I'd done a lot of reading on different websites, esp. this one, and thought I could handle a small blue. It's more creamy like a gorgonzola dolce but not quite as salty with a more mild flavor, I'm Happy. I do have a two week old brie and a one week old taleggio aging. I do love the soft mold ripened cheeses, esp. blues and this beats buying it. I've learned a lot from reading posts from gents like you two, thanks.
Welcome!
That's great, Carl.
And I see you like one of my favorite things...a bit of honey with a nice blue.
