saving the Sainte Maure



Sainte Maure is a French mold ripened goat cheese.  Sometimes you can follow a recipe to a T, and despite your best efforts, something goes wrong and the batch just doesn't do what it is suppose to.  The goat milk curd from this recipe just didn't set up (see yesterday's post) and I managed to save it, but am working with some very wet cheese.  I have formed it into some floppy little cakes and coated with salt and ash, in hopes they will age into some delicious little wonder wheels.  I will post their development - it may fail, or come out really great - the next few weeks will tell!  
Welcome to the teacher that is cheese making.
