Help
After the untimely collapse of my first cheese I have set about making its replacement. I used the same recipe as for the Stilton but omitted one thing
The Blue Cheese
So I have what looks to me like a very nice cheese but what will it be and moreover when will I be able to eat it.
Anybody got any suggestions.

maybe when you poke holes into it you could deliberately contaminate the utensil with blueness, and then see what happens . . . .

grab some blue/stilton cheese and smear some of the bloom onto your cheese, at least that will cover it then poke hole in it.

If I leave it as a white cheese anybody know what it might turn into and how long before I can sample it.
Not that I'm inpatient

Depends on what u used as a starter culture. Didnt read what u used, might just turn into farm cheese.

Tim,
A few people around here have made cheese and forgotten something, only to end up with a new and just as nice alternative. You might try pressing it a bit salting, then spraying with a Candidium Culture, or even pressing and brining.
Or just leave it to see what come of it all. All part of the anticipation involved with cheesemaking!!
I wanted to make a white stilton, so I'd be interested to know how you get on with this.
