The Cheddar Experience

My first hard cheese was a large 4 pound wheel of cheddar. This cheese was really fun to make, but required a good deal of attention, especially during the “cheddaring” process, which involves exact temperatures and a lot of flipping of cheese hunks. I didn’t add enough coloring, so it was more of a white cheddar, and while it isn’t sharp, it is pretty tasty. Right now, a few waxed pieces are happily aging away in my cheese fridge, hopefully getting better and better.
