[FAIL] Early blown Caprino Romano. There goes $50...

[LoydB]

This was my first time using raw goat's milk to make a cheese. Apparently I need to do a low-temp pasteurization next time. Within 48 hours of removing it from the press, it had swollen up like a balloon. No yeast smell, so probably coliform. My goal is to have all three romano variants aging (Vacchino, Caprino and Pecorino), so I'm going to try it again in a couple of weekends and hope the pasteurization helps. At least the vacchino went well...

Does what happened render it inedible?

It absolutely is not good looking, given that there aren't supposed to be any holes in Romano. But thanks for the sentiment... :)

Yep.
