Hmm... Close enough...  ::)

Particularly if we are talking about surface-mounted molds/bacteria like PC and b. Linens. :)

;D

Going back to the cheeses, I have a decision to make. I can keep maintaining the cheeses and the mold growth in their boxes right now or I can wrap them up for aging.

The problem I have with wrapping is that the cheese wrap I have for bloomy cheeses (bought from thecheesemaker.com) failed me the last time around. All cheeses I've wrapped with it so far (1 Camembert and 2 Cambozolas) have ammoniated on me which seems to be indicative of poor micro-environments if I my understanding is correct. Any suggestions?

New pic as to how they are doing today so,we can advise .  Preferably with a pic showing how rounded the edges are getting as that is what softens first .

When the edge gets soft  and rounded  (1/4 inch or so ) on a reblochon it is time to  wrap and colder fridge

Here they are Gregore! I actually wrapped them yesterday but here they are unwrapped.

The first two are the Taleggios-turned-Pont-l'Eveque while the last two are my Camemberts-turned-stinky. I'm showing both sides of the cheese so there are four pictures in total.
