Hi all!
I finally broke into the world of blues and am thrilled with how things are going so far! I made 2-1kilo wheels that are currently 13 days old and growing beautiful blue mold (never thought I'd be saying that!). I just brought them out of the "cave" to turn and decided to snap a couple pics (which I can't help but share 'cause I'm so excited!).
The first pics are straight out of the mould, then after smoothing, then today's pics, Enjoy!
~Cheers
That's exciting! Good on you!
Very nice. Always a pleasure to see cheese pics. :)
Nice progression of pics. They look good.
What's your technique for smoothing?

My very first Stilton comes out of the hoop tomorrow night. Very excited as well. Made a 6" 3lb wheel. Hot knife to smooth?

Hi Boofer!
I used some curds that I reserved from molding the cheeses (about 3-4 tablespoons worth) and pressed it into the little gaps and crevices, then smoothed with a small palette knife/cake decorating knife.
Oh, an Artiste! ;)
Rather like spackling I would imagine.

isnt it cool to wake up every morning and go into the cave and see with anticipation how it has changed. I love it!!! Great pics too!
