Well I finaly made Sue's raclette a few months back with a few gallons of milk I had left from the weeks pickup. I thought I had posted it somewhere but couldn't find it. In any case I cut it the other night to see what it was doing. It felt kind of soft and the color was more orange than red I believe Sue's was red. I have never had this cheese before either so the whole thing is new for me. Nice creamy taste but I resealed it and think I will wait another month or so I think this will develop a much richer flavor by then. I did not have an aging time but I thought it was like 2 months?
This is what it looks like now:
Looks good to me, I'm with you, go for one more month.
Now all you have to do is lay that bad boy on a piece of stone in front of a fire and then scrap the bubbling melting mass over some boiled potatoes. . . :)
That is a beautiful cheese!! Well done, you always impress me with how delicious your cheeses look! They make my mouth water! ;D I think I am going to have to make this my next cheese...it looks sooo good!
I am hoping it tastes as good as it looks. I had to buy a piece to compare as I have never had this cheese before. The color of the rind is definately lighter than the store bought one I got today. Although even though I feel it is too young yet mine is definately creamier.
That looks great Debi !
Thanks guys!
