Washed Rind Brick Cheese

[LoydB]

My cheese cave is sufficiently full that I've slowed down on making new wheels. With my new pizza oven, however, I've got the itch to do some quick ones specifically for pizza. This is Gavin Webber's Wisconsin Brick Cheese. I am skeptical that it's going to taste like what I get at the cheesemonger's, as it's a washed-rind recipe, but we shall see in a couple of weeks.

Nice project.
I'd like to give it a try, buy I think my wife would kill me for starting another hobby. Haha

I have never been tempted to make a cheese, but this one might do the trick. That brick cheese is killer good stuff. Hopefully it compares.

Will do. Still a few weeks to go.

Not tangy enough yet, I'll revisit in a month.

After two weeks of washing and flipping, I broke it down today. It tastes more like a cheddar with the texture of a gouda right now, it doesn't have the tang/sour forward flavor I'm hoping for (though it's still delicious). I've sealed it up and put it back into the cave for a bit, we'll see how it goes.
