First time posting. This is my first attempt at a Caerphilly style cheese. I used the recipe in Gianaclis Caldwell's book "Mastering Artisan Cheesemaking". I have aged it for about 2 months. I'm pretty happy with it I just cut into it tonight and it has a nice nutty flavor with a sharp finish. Excited to keep trying more!

What a lovely cheese! How did you treat the rind?
Congratulations and a cheese for you.
Good luck with your future cheesy adventures. That is a really good start.

Yes, another cheese for you!

Thanks! I kept it at 45-50 degrees and pretty high humidity around 90% most of the time aging. I had a few blue molds come up but I was able to keep most at bay just wiping down the rind.

A big cheese for you! That looks outstanding

Great work! Another cheese for you!

I think this will be my next cheese!  I'm glad you mentioned that the recipe is in Caldwell's book because for some reason I thought she didn't have a Caerphilly recipe there.
