Something cheesy...

...for a change.

This is my first attempt at making Camembert.
After 2 weeks of maturing I couldn't wait any longer and was eager to have the first taste. Hmm... soft at the edges, firm in the middle (we like it that way).

The middle did not have any particular taste and the edge was getting Camembert-ish.

A few days after this, the taste is definitely a lot more spread throughout the slice. Nice. Lovely.

There are 3 more rounds of camembert and we shall taste them in weekly intervals. Quite pleased so far.

The Gouda and cheddar are still maturing and we may have the first taste at Christmas.

    Thanks, Ting. Stay cool yourself! :)

    Kelly, I might bring a tasting portion along on Tuesday!
    (Actually, I'm getting worried 'cause the other Gnome doesn't seem keen on it. It's not Nuage Blanc. Spoilt bugger!)
