Hi Paul, hope you don't mind I was asked to split your post off the other thread as new intro post.
You are our first one here in Vietnam so I've just added you to our list (https://cheeseforum.org/forum/index.php/topic,731.0.html) and added a Geographic Board for Vietnam in case you or others have any local type posts.
Have fun making cheese and welcome!
Welcome to the forum, Paul. You'll get some good information here.
Sounds like you are about to corner the cheese market in Vietnam. Great opportunity. Sounds like you're going in the right direction with the cheese cave. If you have any details or photos that you can share here, there are folks that have built caves like you are doing or are in the process of building a cave. If you have questions or problems, post them here and I'm sure you will get assistance.
One of the items that people do use in their caves is a Coolbot. Search on it on the forum to find out more.
I was in Saigon 40 years ago. Nice place, but very hot and very humid. That might present some problems for your cheese.
Good luck.

Hi Paul and welcome to the forum. I am ashamed to say that my knowledge of your country is limited. I was interested in what types of cheese are consumed there and is there any history of farmstead style cheeses.
Hi. Good to know vietnam has someone looking for cheesemaking. I plan to make cheese in VN in early 2019. My uncle is an artisan in cheese. He made cheese in VN 1998 before communist refugee. And now he come back VN to aspire startup again with cheese in his motherland. We still have some machine working well.
