I was feeling a little crazy today, so I made a fun cheese.
It's one of my standards, but I decided to put a little color into it.
Pretty cool. My experience with odd-colored things like this is that it won't be appreciated by anyone but me. You eat with your eyes, and for others the color is an issue.
I tried to make a blue camembert recently, but the color didn't get into the curds. I used butterfly pea flowers, which are great for making rice and pasta a tea blue. It wasn't absorbed by the curds.
Thanks Andrew.
This one hasn't caused any problems for anyone for two reasons:
One, it was so crazy, my straight friends thought it was "fun."
Two, my gay friends thought it was hilarious.
;D ;D ;D very fun and crazy.
Did the colors hold through aging? And what type did you use?
I'd love to make colorful cheese!
For this one I used regular baking food colors as an experiment.
The yellow faded after about 4 weeks. Folowed by the orange. Followed by the red. The green moved more toward blue. The blue remained.
By the time it had aged about 6 months--and we ate the last of it, it was a rainbow of light orange, light pink and pale blue.
Interesting indeed, and worthy of AC4U!
Thanks Andy
It seems like a bit too much crazy for me ;D
AC4U!
Hahaha
Yes Paco—it was a bit of craziness. Today I'm making Asiago but it will be a normal color.
Sí Paco, fue locura. Hoy hago un asiago, pero será del color normal.
