Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm Mozzarella :grin:

Well 2 weeks on it is beginning to look like mouldy cheese.

Its blue with fur on it, but I have high hope that I will get a stilton for Christmas Day :party: :party:

 

[calumscott]

So does the fur die back a bit as it matures then?

Or do you need to wash the rind once it's suitably tough?

 

[graysalchemy]

No it should die back and form the rind that we know on a stilton.



I hope

Fascinating thread; kind of like extreme sports without leaving the house. I hope you have an upstairs and downstairs loo for Boxing Day, or are you planning on testing on the cat first?

Joking aside, I wish you luck with this project, and will follow with interest, albeit from a distance, and upwind

You'll have to catch the bugger 1st, it'll have legs by then :rofl:

I think V the end is Neigh for this cheese. It si showing signs of turning into a camembert instead :lol: :lol: I don't think it will last till christmas . Its four weeks old on monday i should easily age to 12 + weeks 8 being my ideal.

Cheese making is far harder than AG, at least with AG you are likely to get something drinkable. :lol:

You didn't taste any of my spiced blush WOW :sick: although technically that wasn't AG. Plus I'm not sure I'd want a drinkable cheese. I prefer something that will stay on my oakcake.

Why not just think of it as blue brie?

Well it is now the ripe old age of 7 weeks, so I have gift wrapped it up to take back home for the wife :whistle: ( that way she may appreciate my new obsession).

So here it is, far from perfect but hopefully the inside will look and taste better than the outside does.

Baguettes are fermenting as we speak ready for baking tonight.

 

[calumscott]

That looks bloody amazing!!! :hat:

 

[graysalchemy]

I had to position it to photograph as it has a split in its backside which I happened to get a bit larger when I knife accidently slipped inside :whistle: :whistle:

 

[dennisking]

so I have gift wrapped it up to take back home for the wife

You do know how to treat a woman. :whistle:

[graysalchemy]

Just don't put the mould in and call it a lancashire :lol: :lol:

 

[bobsbeer]

Creamy of course. :lol:
