Much happier with the shape. Before the warm phase I bound it with cloth and vac'ed it.

Again this a mesophillic type. If it doesn't work out I'll try Thewitt's recipe.

Make date 4/28/2018. It's back in the cooler for a few months.

Looks like a nice one!

So that swelling happened while it was vac packed?

Yes

Tim. Why cloth bound when vac packing? Just wondering.

I have one admit 5 weeks old that I waxed. Wax started to split so I vac packed it. Still looks like it's expanding ok too.

Tailpipe,

Cloth binding mitigates the vac bag from deforming the cheese.

I found that during the warm phase "my" Jarlsberg is quite soft and takes on every impression. Not sure if this is true for others. The vac bag makes creases which in turn cuts into the cheese.

Thanks! I'll have to try that!
