Composition of package:: Cheese making kit - White and blue molded cheese - Offer
Use white mould instead of lipase, and use a starter culture mix instead of standard starter culture. Complete the recipe as if you were making Feta.
When the cheese is brined, place the cheese in a cheese tray with coarse cheese mat fitted underneath. Place a second cheese mat on top and cover it with another cheese tray, with bottoms up.
Then place everything in a cooling box, a box with cooling elements or frozen bottles of water.
The trays serve to ensures high levels of humidity surrounding the cheese, whereas the cooling elements keep the temperature ideal (around 10-12°C). These conditions stimulates the growth of the desired molds that usually develops within 7 - 12 days.
Make sure to loosen the mats, flip the cheese trays upside down and replace the cooling elements each day in order to keep the right temperature, add fresh air and prevent the mould from sticking to the cheese mat. It is helpful to keep a thermometer inside the cooling box to be able to monitor the temperature throughout the process. You maintain the optimum temperature by increasing or decreasing the intensity of the cooling by add more or less cooling elements.
High humidity levels within the trays is intentional as it enhances of mould development. Due to that, small amounts of water/whey might leak in to the trays, therefore make sure to flip the trays upside down over a kitchen sink, whilst holding them firmly together.
When the cheese is completely covered by white mould, wrap it in cheese paper and leave it to mature in the refrigerator for another 1 - 4 weeks.
A thinner cheese requires a shorter maturation period, 1 - 2 weeks (brie).
A thicker cheese requires a longer maturation period, 3 – 4 weeks (camembert).
