Is the third time the charm?  I am really happy with this cheese.  I know that a Caerphilly shouldn't have a moldy rind but I really love it!  I didn't have a problem with soft spots so I just let it go.  If I did see any molds growing "tall", I just patted them down.

And the taste is much better than the first two.  It is creamier and more complex.  I aged it for 4 weeks.

Ooohhh!  Caerphilly will grow a white mould, wild geo takes up residence I think.  I usually brush it back, but letting it do its thing is certainly fine.  Yours looks like it's a nice idea.  A cheese to you!

Jeff,

If I can consistently make this cheese, I will be a happy cheesemaker.  But I'll need to give it it's own unique name 

Looking good!

It looks very nice!

That is one nice looking cheese, I like the rind too.  I try to make my Caerphilly with a natural rind too.  I tend not to brush back any of the mold growing. 

A Cheese to you.

Thanks everyone!  This makes me feel better about the cheese that went to the chickens this morning.  It was a tomme recipe from the "200 Easy Homemade ect" book and I should have listened to my instincts.  Which were saying "uh...this probably won't work."  Lousy knit and too small.  Oh well 

Nice texture looks really good >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Cheeese!

Caerphilly is a house favorite...and I've only had mine growing anything other than the white powdery mold on it.  The past make was really nice & creamy, the other a tad drier.  It bothers me that my cheese aren't consistent!  And by this, I mean cheeses I make at the same time, same recipe, etc, but split into different molds.  So, I have no clue where I misstep. 

But, yours looks really yummy!  I love the rind.  Queso para usted!

Hey, who doesn't like a little mold?

That must make it difficult to make cheese.

That's why I don't make blues! I also have to be very zelous of keeping the mold off. Even wearing gloves I will splash my arms and get a rash. It's worth it and I rarely get mold as a wash daliy and vacpack as soon as I dare.

I have oiled my dense tomee about 3 days ago and have been far out of town so hopefully i dont have a wild mold pie waiting for me. but if it is i hope fervently to have it come out like this one you have!
