Title: Salvaged blue
Post by: mtncheesemaker on June 18, 2010, 01:31:21 AM
Here is a sheep blue that was headed south. I made it 25 April and within a couple a weeks it was developing slipskin. Too much humidity and my cold room was warming up before I got a fridge set up with an external thermometer.
So, I decided to wrap it in parchment paper and put it in the regular refrigerator. Forgot about it until tonight; I opened it and was pleasantly surprised. It has dried out, is quite sharp and very blue tasting.
Wonder if this would salvage a camembert with the same problem?
