Good taste, My wife put a big dent in it already.

That's some good stuff!

Nepas, that's what it is all about, good taste.  That is the reason we do what we do.  We want the best for ourselves, our family, and our friends.  Keep on keeping on, Steve

No dont get mold if no air gets it. The USA is one of the only countries that keep their cheese in cold, other countries keep it out either waxed, cheese cloth or moldy.

Sell by date is just GOV BS IMHO

Thanks Nepas

Very nice....

Wow! I don't know if I have the will power to let Havarti go that long without eating it! I aged some for about 4 months, and it was some of the best cheese I have ever had. I can only imagine how good it is after 20 months. Must....Hold....Out......Longer.....

Nepas, Thanks for the nudge on smoing cheese!  20 months on cheese, WOW! 

I can hardly wait until it cools further here in Texas.  My last batch of cheese (Dec. 2011) is about gone.  Looking forward to imaking the new batch.
