basement cheese #1 2009

Made in a vaguely "Swiss mountain cheese in one-gallon miniature" style: thermophilic cultures, and Propionibacter but I didn't get any CO2 evolved. Tastes... buttery, smooth, with some booty to it.

From basement cheese #1 2009

Where's the cheese mites? The funky fungus?

This seems too edible for something you'd post about.

This one was quite edible. It's sort of hit or miss with basement cheese.

Well, I scraped the surface mold layer off before bringing it up out of the basement. Really should have gotten a snap of BC#2 with its crackly flaking salmon-colored skin.

I'm not sure of what to think of 'crackly flaking salmon-colored skin'.

Don't poison yourself with this, mmmmm-kay?

We didn't eat the outside!

O such a respectable cheese.
