Here's the latest one ready for its wine bath.
I call mine La Cabra Borracha here in Costa Rica

That's a lovely looking cheese!  Looking forward to seeing how it looks coming out of the bath!

Speaking of which, what is the smallest cheese you think you could do with that mould/wrap?  Do they sell them in various sizes?  I'm trying to keep my cheese makes down to 4 liters (~1 gal) at a time.

Thanks Andy.
Mike, this particular mold is small...it is meant for a 2 pound cheese...so 1 gallon would fill it approximately halfway.  Of course, aging cheeses that smaller becomes a real problem in trying to keep them from drying out too much due to the increased surface:paste ratio

What kind of mold is that? I love it!
