the kind mold



You have to poke holes into wheels of blue cheese, which will introduce air, which mold needs to grow.  I poked 20 holes in each side of the wheel with a sterilized skewer.


Blue wheels age on their side. I am trying to find my taste for blue cheese, which I don't have much of now, even as a cheese maker.  This wheel was made with some raw milk that I traded for a few pounds of feta cheese.  I will post some updates as it ages and gets veiny.
