Title: It's Gruyere Day
Post by: GortKlaatu on June 09, 2018, 07:48:29 PM
I was planning to make some triple creams today, but had too much milk for that. So, it is Gruyere Day. (It's in the press now...waiting for the hydrogen potential to hit 5.4)
I'll make Triple Creams on Tuesday with 2.5 gallons then.

Thanks Tim
I think it was only Gruyere Day in Costa Rica. I'm not sure--but I'm pretty sure--it was Cheddar Day in Mississippi.

It was a cheddar day in Idaho also!  I made a cheddar with strawberry and blueberry reduction just for giggles.  Wanted it to be a red white and blue but that didn't work, kind of a whitish purplish mass.

Good looking cheese! How long are you going to age it?
