Post #1 - April 18th, 2018, 8:56 amIn January I was lucky enough to take a one-week residential course in natural cheesemaking, taught by David Asher at Sterling College in Vermont. Asher's book is highly worthwhile, and I strongly recommend it to anyone interested learning to make cheese for themselves.
After half-a-dozen simple cheeses, I decided to try to make camember according to Asher's method. It worked! It tastes just like a camember should; as my wife said "It's not a world-class camembert, but it's unmistakeably a camembert--it's not what discourse the dog uttered, but that he uttered discourse at all."
Colour me a Happy Geo!

Post #3 - April 18th, 2018, 10:34 amNeato! Nice! For a world-class camembert, however anything handmade like yours I'm sure has a specific provenance nee' terroir, I recommend https://charmcitycheesemongers.wordpres ... e-month-2/ not nearly as pungent as some, it is non-industrial, farmhouse, super herbaceous and with that garlicky-quality I enjoy. I sell a ton of it. (fyi: the link is not to my place of work).Last edited by Christopher Gordon on April 18th, 2018, 10:44 am, edited 3 times in total.Being gauche rocks, stun the bourgeoisie

Post #8 - April 21st, 2018, 4:14 pmVery cool. I've seen cheese-making demos, but never a cheese class. And that is an impressively authentic-looking Camembert!
