Title: My first ever camembert!
Post by: Snofox on October 11, 2018, 07:27:46 PM
Just tasted my first ever homemade Camembert (and my third ever cheese) - pretty sure I'm hooked for life now! Perfection is still some way off, but they're pretty damn tasty :D (just had to share)

Congratulations.  Looks good and it's only your third cheese!  AC4U!

Curious, what were your first two cheeses?

Oh, and welcome to the forum  ;D

Thank you! A cheddar (that is still aging in wax) and a Monterrey jack (that was nothing but trouble and ended up tasting very weird. (Too much moisture left I think). Definitely going for another batch of camemberts this weekend - curious to see if I can recreate them ;)

Looks really nice. Good and runny just like I like mine. All the Cams here in Panama won't rippen
AC4U and enjoy your cheese, yum.

Congrats
AC4U!
Homemade Cams and Bries are WHEY better that store bought. 
Once here in Costa Rica, I found a Cam in a store....it was so bland and rubbery. I'm sticking with my own!
