Wow, great looking cheese!

The pic says Day 3...with that color already? Really? If so, that's amazing.

Yeah, I like that mold imprint.

Yeah, a lot, huh?

Normally the color darkens and deepens as the cheese ages and dries.

Nope, just 3 drops for 5L of Milk. It's a little more than required  (2 Drops per Gal.).
You right, it was not so contrast before drying. Sure there is some color correction
but it's close to real colors. Today is the day of first wash! :D

Yes, that is great looking rind pattern.
Did you use cheesecloth with that mold ?
