Title: Brie & Camembert - Increasing Cream, Effect?
Post by: Gustav on June 13, 2011, 05:38:11 PM
If I add some cream with the full cream jerjey milk that I use to make Brie, will it result in a creamier cheese or is alot of cream gonna have a different effect?

hi, I have just made my first Brie and the recipe said to add extra cream this is how you get a double or triple cream Brie..
mine look good, except they don't seem to develop the white mold near as quick as Camembert.. just wondering if this is normal?

I noticed that the mold grows alot faster & thicker on the side of my cheese than on top & bottom. I guess it's because the sides doesn't have as hard a crust as the top & bottom. I made this brie with probat222 & only the penicillium candidum mold.
I think It's betterto add the GEO 17 (Geotrichum Candidum) to assait with the growth of the main mold. I tried it without it first to see what it will look like, & so far it has a great mold on the sides & its starting to cover the rest with patches now.
