English Stilton

Nov 16 2006

4L batch Homo 3.5% milk.

Bought some old English Stilton for culture, creamed with milk and added to starter MA4002 with 250ml 35% whipping cream the previous night.

Let drain in colander for an hour then transfer to molds, left to drain overnight.

Leaning towers of Stilton ;) added some weight and got lopsided.

Cut them open to see what's up, closed them up again and let ripen more.

Took a look at them, hmm, the closed container has made them like camembert and gone soft, tastes like stilton, however its a hybrid LOL. tastes very nice so definitely a keeper, just make sure it can breath and has air circulation.
