Interesting part of that video is the paper wrapped around the cheese while it's being pierced.  Watched a bunch of video on Stiltons and never saw this.  Curious.

Yes it is and from what you can see it appears the needles enter the same holes twice, once up and once down.  Would hate to have to pierce this many holes by hand.

I actually got a blister on my right thumb last time I pierced a blue... ;-)

I may have to have one of the apprentices fix me something up at work.  ;) LOL

I need to get me some apprentices first... ;-)

LOL  These are Toolmaker Apprentices.  Not Cheesemaker.  :) LOL

Yep, I could use a couple of those too... ;-)

Big Blue's brother was opened today.


Just as I wanted it. Mushy and with a strong yet sweet taste of blue. This time I was lucky! :-)

From now on you can call it skill. No luck involved. ;)

Beautiful cheese, Danbo. AC4U

Beautiful! Danbo: the king of the mushy blues and my hero!

Danbo

Al: Thanks - it's very close to a soft Gorgonzola in smoothness and texture.

Danbo

Larry: I still think that I need a good potion of luck to create another one. ;-)
