It spent a week submerged in red wine. After I vac sealed it, it will be ready to eat in about 3 weeks, though it could be aged much longer (and will be, it will take awhile to eat the whole thing). Same with the top one (Guido's Hard Italian), it's ready to eat after three weeks as well, but gets better with age. I've got half a wheel that's coming up on three months that is delicious.

look so good!!

Thanks!

Appearances are often deceiving... :)

This was made from raw cow's milk from Richardson Farms at my local farmer's market. There's also someone there who sells goat's milk, but won't have any until January. I have yet to find a source for sheep's milk.

I have sheep, you can come milk them if you can catch them .

Cheeses look great.

Update on this, I broke it open again last night and the wine flavor has now permeated the entire cheese. It is substantially better than it was two months ago, so if you decide to make it, give it some time.
