It has been 7 days since I inoculated my blue cheese experiment. I have it in my wine chiller/cheese cave at 54 degrees in a sealed container. Every other day or so I open it up and make sure there is not excessive moisture. I opened it up today and here is what I saw:
It is actually turning blue!! Not pink or orange or black but BLUE!!!
You can read about the start of my blue cheese experiment at my previous blog Blue Cheese and Good Friends.
Congratulations. It looks like it is going to be tasty. This reminds me of the time a successfully made sauerkraut. The cabbage actually pickled and didn't rot.
ReplyDeleteThat is very cool. I want to try making it. How long does it have to age before you can try it?
ReplyDeleteYou mean we're supposed to eat it??? We could try tasting some next week if you are brave enough but I think it needs about 2 months minimum.
DeleteWell I'm sure it will have ample opportunity to turn all sorts of lovely but unwanted pastel colors over the next few weeks.
ReplyDeleteHi Shelley,
ReplyDeleteI hopped over here from CITR and enjoyed browsing through your blog. I love your new goat houses.

Thank you Kathi. I'll have to check out your blog too.
DeleteThis looks wonderful!! Now, the harder job will be to figure out how you can make some to sell!!
ReplyDeleteAn almost impossible one at that. I guess I'll just have to enjoy it myself :-)
