slow cheese

The cheese cave has been too warm for aging cheeses since June, and the refrigerator is too cold; Young cheeses hanging out in the frig dry out; or, if you put them in bags, they sweat and get mushy. It will be September before we ripen any cheeses properly -- very annoying for folks like us who go looking for incidental slabs of protein between meals.

Mozzarella makes okay, but is rather dull by itself. We give thanks for milk, and hard-boiled eggs.
