I started a basic cam make on 4-11-12 and wrapped them in the morning four days ago. The next evening a smell of rot emanated from my minifridge. i checked and it came from the cams. Un wrapping them showed a LOT of moisture under the cam paper. The smell is decreasing every day but the box, which was cleaned, still smells of funk. I air it out and it comes right back. The cams look normal, none of the common maladies. So my question is this, why the funk and what could be causing it. The mini has been running at 46, and it wipe out the moisture when I air out the cheese.
to much moisture. Hope they aren't ruined give them lots a fresh air and see if they recover.
Rot and ammonia are not the same. My first batch of cam was made with (likely contaminated) raw milk and had a rotten smell. eventually I threw it all away.
