First Cheddar

[Eileen]

Three months after I made my very first cheese I decided it was now time to try it. We prefer our cheese mature and mild is of no real interest to us but I had to try it didn't I?

Having used some cream in the recipe paid off as it is a really creamy yet tasty cheese already. All the flavour of a medium to mild cheddar but with none of the sharpness you sometimes find.

I have saved some to eat over the next few days and rewaxed it ready to try again in three months time. It's a good job I made cheese every week since I started so there will be some to sample each week. All the hard work has payed off so far  ;)

Congratulations on the Cheddar , and on having the patience to wait three months before trying it.

I have four small Cheddars in the cave right now and already tried one at about six weeks old , not much flavor at all , but you can tell that it is on track to be a good cheese.

I rewaxed half and vacuum packed the remainder , will try in another 6 or 8 weeks.

Yes , I agree , post some photos.

Cheers , Jim.
