About this deal

There are countless varieties of cheese that use mold at different stages of the cheesemaking process. Some cheeses have mold introduced to help create a protective rind, and others like blue are spiked with stainless steel rods to infuse the mold deep into the cheese. Below are some of our favorites: Stir rennet into milk then heat to 90 degrees F. Remove from heat and leave for 10 minutes, the milk should split into curds and whey. The rate of denaturing of whey proteins is fastest between 75˚ and 85˚C. It takes time for the strands to form, and in fact you don’t begin to see them until the whey reaches about 82˚C. If you skim them off as soon as they form, they’ll be too soft and will pass through the holes of the mould, and you’ll lose most of your product. If you leave them too long in the hot scotta or heat them to too high a temperature, they become tough. Rozenberg S, Body JJ, Bruyère O, et al.

Calcif Tissue Int. 2016;98(1):1-17. doi:10.1007/s00223-015-0062-x Tip: Make sure you use whey that is not more than three hours old. Avoid whey made from a mozzarella recipe that uses citric acid- while you will get ‘some’ yield this whey will be a little too acidic to get great results.

Pyramid Square Mould (mould 11) - This particular one is known as a Valençay mould with its truncated pyramidal shape. Valençay is an unpasteurized goats milk cheese weighing around 225g and around 7cm in height. Its rustic blue-grey colour is made by the natural moulds that form its rind, darkened with a dusting of charcoal. Size is 85mm x 57mm 80mm. Ladle curds into a cheesecloth lined ricotta mold. Add teaspoon of cheese salt per pound, stir and allow to drain in fridge.Bloomy Rind cheeses: Commonly found on soft, rich cheeses like Hoard’s St. Saviour or Schroeder Kase Camembert, bloomy rinds are surfaced ripened cheeses known for their white rinds. These cheeses are coated with with Penicillium candidum during the aging process. This famous mold culture is responsible for the edible, white rind and contributes to the creamy interior texture of bloomy rind cheeses. Is cheese made from mold? Cheese is not mold nor is it the by-product of mold. Some cheese varieties like blue cheese have specific species of mold that are intentionally added during the cheesemaking process to enhance the flavor of texture. The mold added to these cheeses can be thought of as a special ingredient. What is Ricotta? Erica Jarman, Director of Sapori & Saperi Adventures Ltd explains how the Italians make it. Proper storage is your number one strategy to preventing unwanted mold growth on cheese. In fact, we have a whole guide dedicated to safe cheese storage.

Add lemon juice, stir gently and continue to heat slowly to 190 degrees F. The curds will rise to the surface at this temperature. Hold at this temperature for 15 minutes then remove from heat. Blue Cheddar: This Wisconsin original is a great way to expand the boundaries of your cheese tasting while keeping things familiar. Blue cheddar is aged cheddar infused with Penicillium roqueforti, the fungus responsible for developing blue cheese’s iconic veins and flavor. Basically, it’s the best of both worlds. That rules out ricotta which is made from whey proteins coagulated by means of heat. Under Italian law ricotta is a latticine, a dairy product, as are milk, cream, yoghurt and butter. It’s a product that almost every cheesemaker in Italy makes. You can sell it for €8–€9 a kilo. Why would you throw out your whey, or worse yet, pay someone to dispose of it, when you can produce a second product from your milk?

Nutrients. 2016;8(7):394. doi:10.3390%2Fnu8070394 I just made a batch of raw milk CACIOTTA and used this mold to give it a traditional "basket" imprint. Because of the stufatura (steaming) process, I used muslin in the form-but the pattern still turned out great. Now I have to painfully wait the aging process, giggle.

Washed-rind (or smear-ripened) cheeses: They say it takes a village to raise a child; we say it takes an old cheese to raise a young cheese. Or at least that’s the case for some washed-rind or smear-ripened cheeses, which use the bacteria on a mature cheese to cultivate a new colony on a younger cheese. Penicillium is commonly found growing within soil, decaying vegetation, cereals, and fresh fruit and vegetables. Cross contamination and airborne spores as the most likely cause of this strain growing in ricotta cheese. Vafeiadou K, Weech M, Altowaijri H, et al.
