The cake tin you're using, that's for cheese cake right? :D

The last picture on your website looks like a nice cheese wheel. How long to age?

So do you salt it repeatedly over time? How does the salting process work?

Interested, because my brie came out too salty and I only salted it once. Of course, looking back at it, I tried to bury it in salt.

well acording to the instructions, it gets salted 3 times, guess to produce the "slime" surface ( from what I see in the store), the brie/camembert i just lightly salt once all over and thats it.

Hi BC

How much milk did you use to produce that cheese? And what is the size of the spring form tin?

Cheers
Adam

12L (2 batches of 6L) and a 9" bake pan.
I recomend though to make a 50% bigger batch for the outer layer (2nd day batch) to give proper thickness, in my opinion.
