Caerphilly
Winter is the best time to make cheese around here. It's easy to maintain the ripening temperature (approx. 13C) and humidity (75-85%). Without having to muck about with a cheese/wine fridge.

This is a whopper of a cheese! The biggest so far, as Chocolate's milk is amazingly creamy at the moment. The yield is 1.75kg from 7.6 litres of milk! Can't wait to taste it. :)

VG,
It looks fantastic! I just love the nutty and saltyness of Caerphilly. That is a massive yield, the % butterfat must be around 5.1% to get that much curds.
