The other day, Carol started a 2# batch of goat’s milk Cheddar Cheese.  Well, after a day of pressing and flipping, flipping and pressing, it is air drying and doing fine.  We made it with our homemade Danish Press.

In fact, it is looking gorgeous as it is drying.  A rind is starting to form.  As you can see, it is now a beautiful color.

We let it set on a small, bamboo, cheese-mat, so that air can get to the underside and cover the top with cheese cloth (to keep off dust and such).  The cheese wheel needs to be flipped several times a-day for the first week.  After it is sealed and aging, it will need to be turned weekly until it is ready (2-6 months).
