Hi all,

I opened my first Caerphilly today. I used Gavin Webber's recipie from his video, a nice non-homo milk, RA 21 culture and let it age only 4 weeks. Folks say it can be good at only 3 weeks.

I grew a nice thin and powdery coat of natural P. Candidum just from sitting in my cheese cave. I was never able to get the RH up to 80%, at most I hit 73%, most days it was at c. 60%.

I can cut it thin, it doesn't bend, but breaks in a jagged line.

Has a nice cheddary flavor, not too salty. Not sure how its supposed to taste having never purchased Caerphilly. But I like it. :D
