Hi,
I've just recently started making cheese. I started witht eh soft fresh cheeses and all went well. So I decide to give farmhouse cheddar a go.
Well. I think I followed the recipe exactly. I made two small cheeses and waxed them. I opened the first after a month and I knew there was a problem. What I seemed to have was two cheese in one. The outer part of the cheese was like halloumi and the centre of the cheese was crumbly but did taste of cheddar.
I opened the next one at 2 months. When I cut into it some whey came out. again the outer part was like halloumi this time the inner was more full of holes and even more crumbly and did not taste like cheddar.
I don't know what I have done wrong. I have made some more and checked them at 1 month and they both have the same problem.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong to cause this?
