    This looks like one of the best cheeses ever. I’m going to try this next week with raw milk and mead made from my own honeybees. I can’t wait!

      I would try making the mead with honey, rather than the actual bees. Just a suggestion. ;)

      Good luck. I've been making cheese for about a year now. I'm still figuring it out. (I sometimes struggle with moisture content.) It's a very forgiving process, but the slightest change can alter your product. That being said, following Gavin's recipes, I've never failed to produce a cheese. It's just not always exactly what I expect

    This seems like a good way to ease people into washed rind cheeses. My first experience with Limburger was... I wasn't ready. Over a decade later, I developed an appreciation for it. This would have been a far more positive entry into that type of cheese.

    The small eyes remind me of a cheese that seems to have gone extinct over the past decade in my area of America. Lorraine Swiss Cheese. It seemed to only exist in a region around St. Louis Missouri. Stores from Indiana to Kansas sold it.
    It was my favorite. Now it's completely disappeared from stores in St. Louis.

    Thank you for a great recipe. I’m making the cheese today but I don’t have the patience to wait for homemade mead (although, I will make some in time) I bought some at a meadery yesterday. My question is will the type of mead make a difference? Your mead didn’t look bubbly or like champagne, the mead made around us is more like a champagne. The mead I chose was a carrot blossom mead that is very hoppy like, almost like a beer. At least it smells like beer. I thought it would go wonderfully with cheese. Your thoughts? The mead I bought was Heidrun Mead from Point Reyes Station, California.

    Hey Gavin. I just made this cheese yesterday with the intention of washing it with a dry white wine as your suggested was a substitute for mead. But I began thinking about this as mead is sweet and of course a dry wine, is not. Have you tried this with a dry wine, or could you comment on it. Also, as this is my first washed rind cheese, what spices would you recommend adding to the wine?

    Hi Gavin... congratulations!!!, great recipe. Definitely will give it a try. I do not have access to MOT92 culture, but I can get SA500 from Hansen, which has everything but Lactococcus Lactis Lactis. Do you think it could work? .... my concern is that, in my understanding, the Lactococcus Lactis Lactis is the one responsible of eye development in this culture. Am I wrong?
