Nice save! I don't think your problem was calcium chloride, though. Looking closely, there were a lot of small curds in there. It wasn't the case that it gelled and shattered (or didn't gel at all). It looked more like something was interfering with the curd formation. I have 2 theories. First, it *may* have been that the milk got too acidic. You have 2 litres of buttermilk in there, which will be a pH of about 4.6 or so. Recall that the pH scale is logarithmic, so the amount of acid required to drop the pH from 5.6 to 4.6 is 10x the amount required to drop from 6.6 to 5.6. So just to get a ballpark figure, let's assume the Milk By Cow is a pH of 6.6 (it will be close) and the buttermilk is 4.6 (it might even be lower). If it takes 1 "unit" per liter of milk to drop from 6.6 to 5.6, then it will require 10 "units" to drop down to 4.6. Which mes that the buttermilk has 22 "units" of acid (11 "units" x 2 liters) and the milk has 0 units. We then divide the total by 7 (number of liters total) and get just over 3 "units" of acid for the whole batch. 1 unit takes us down to a pH of 5.6 and each additional unit will drop the pH by about 0.1. So we're hitting a pH of 5.4 right off the bat. Additionally, you ripened the milk for 30 minutes and finally let the milk set for 90 minutes. Milk will coagulate due to acidity at higher pH when the milk is warmer. So at fridge temp it coagulates at about a pH of 4.7-4.8. At 32 C it coagulates at a pH above 5.0. In my mind, it is entirely possible that the milk coagulated due to acidity *before* it got a chance to coagulate due to the rennet! In fact, when you add acid to milk, it liberates calcium phosphate from the casein micelles, so at the pH you were working at, you almost *certainly* had enough dissolved calcium (it's the reason "quick mozzarella" usually doesn't need added calcium -- as long as you wait long enough after adding the acid and before you add the rennet). Anyway, I think this is by far the most likely reason for your problem. I would definitely cut back the buttermilk to 1 liter. The other possibility is that either your buttermilk or cream was UHT. If you get milk above 75C it denatures the *whey* proteins. These whey proteins get caught up in the "kappa casein" on the casein micelles. Rennet works by cutting off the kappa casein from the casein micelles. You can think of casin micelles as litteral balls of casein protein bound up with calcium phosphate. On the outside of the micelles, there are "hairs" of kappa casein. It's this kappa casein keeps the micelles from coagulating. Rennet cuts them off. However, if there are denatured whey proteins caught up in the kappa casein, the rennet can't do its job. I think this is less likely to have been the problem, though, because I wouldn't expect the milk to flocculate *at all*. I think it would have stayed liquid. So I'm relatively certain it's a problem with the acidity.
The rennet use the calcium of the milk to make the protein matrix that make the firm gel, he should have added the calcium chloride to prevent the rennet attacking the calcium phosphate and compromising the gel formation. I'm not very convinced that is from the acid coagulation, but, more testing is required. I'm saying that because one week ago I had a lab class using the acid coagulation and rennet to see what the differences are, we even used EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) and saw the gel formation being compromised in the rennet coagulation because the calcium are making bonds with the EDTA.
I'm making my third batch of this today. I gave some away as Christmas gifts, along with some other cheeses I'd made. The feedback on this buttermilk blue has been fantastic! My cousin says it's the best blue she's ever had. I absolutely love this recipe! Thank you, Gavin!
looks like a lovely blue cheese, to bad made by cow doesn't do heavy cream. hope to see a tasting of this in march. I'm glad to see when you point out your challenges and how you overcome them, it gives us beginners more courage to try when we can see some of the troubleshooting that happens when you have something not go as planned.
Indeed Bruce. This challenge was caused by a silly mistake on my part. Normally, I don't add CaCl2 to the made by cow milk, but I should have accounted for the pasteurised cream and buttermilk. We live and learn.
I've made a few blue cheeses. This one is super soft, and so freaking delicious. And it grew the nicest batch of blue mold on it. By far my favorite blue cheese recipe-- Thanks Gavin!
It’s good to see when things don’t go quite right and how to over come it as I’m sure many people don’t make it perfect and would like to know that it can be saved
16:46 - i'm getting a flashback of that loaf of bread i put away after i made a sandwich and ate it and discovered a rather large patch of blue and white fluffy mold at the bottom of that loaf.
You find Cheese "Experts" who have been making cheese for 2 Million years and tell you there is no room for mistakes in cheese making and how it's a Fine art that cannot be tarnished with screw ups and then here comes Mr Gavin Webber who gets them with "I'm about to end this Man's whole career" and shows that screw ups happen and you can still make a great and amazing product
Honestly I have no idea how I've ended up binge watching cheese making videos I'm not even remotely interested in cheese making and I only eat red Leicester, cheddar and parmesan, there is just something so wholesome about your videos they help me sleep! All the best from across the pond 🇬🇧
It looks delicious. I like that you added that the MM100 or M036R are aromatic, that helps. I've never seen the Penicillium Roqueforti, love the colour of it. I haven't tried a Blue yet...buttermilk is not readily available in my area, but I can surely make it.
It’s waaay past 2 AM and I’m enjoying video far too much to not watch all the way. Now I’m also hungry. Thanks for a lovely video, hope your cheese turns out as delicious as I’m imagining it to be. 👍🏻
what's the reason for different amounts of salt on the top and bottom around 14:30? is it because the bottom has gravity to help pull moisture out? assuming that is the purpose of the salting.
I really enjoy your videos. Very relaxing and satisfying. I’d love to make my own cheese but I have no idea to get some of the incidents you’re able to get. Oh well.
One time I got a slice of pizza and me thinking I was pouring ranch it was a bottle of blue cheese and I bit the pizza and then that’s when I knew I didn’t like blue cheese but my favorite color is blue and I do like cheese so win/win
Gavin, this was very educational. Thank you. One thing I noticed.. around 17:20 you scraped the mold off. Is the mold itself unsafe to eat, or is it just a strong flavor? I REALLY love the taste of the blue mold. Just wanted to see if I could more thoroughly enjoy the taste or not. Thank you again for the video.
I'm not gonna lie during this quarantine shit I've been trying all these cheese recipes I find. And it has been awesome Edit: I'll let you know how they came out!
New to the channel and I find your vids very informative and entertaining. What did you mean at time 16:30 that the cheese will be tacky and that you will get "skin sleep" if you handle it to much? I have never heard that term and am just curious.
so here in the US i can go to my local Walmart and buy a gun, but there's absolutely no raw milk of any kind allowed to be sold in any store. The US is a funny place, but I'm absolutely green with envy over your cold-pressed milk!! Maybe one day :[

Looks good Gav, only thing I would have done is make my own buttermilk, I hate having to pay the price for commercial buttermilk considering how easy it is to make.
Blue Cheese!!! some say it must be made with goats milk... I’m glad it doesn’t have to be, though I’d still love it either way so long as it’s still Blue Cheese 🧀 🤤
I'm way late for the party, but couldn't you let the cheese sit in some brine after you get it out of the basket? That would prevent the blue mold growth. Or you could rub a mixture of olive oil, vinegar and salt all around the cheese once it got blue enough for you on the outside. I also made one using a sliver of cheese instead of the dry culture and it worked great! Have a great weekend! 🤞🤓💖
got a question! When the milk got curded what happened if we don't stir it nad put it to the mold without making it dehydrated and pressed, then after few days when it got dehydrated then doing the rest of the works, the purpose is just using the extra waters and materials we have from milk. what will be happened?
Hello Gavin, I have made quite a few of your recipes and they all came out great but I am having an issue with the buttermilk blue I am making. I wound up making 4 of them at about a pound apiece.. It has been 4 weeks since I made them and they looked great but today when I was flip[ping them I noticed that one is very soft and leaking a cream like liquid. Should this be thrown out? I have all 4 in the same maturation box. Thank you for your help.
Hi I'm fairly new to cheese making but I have watch a large number of your videos and I was wondering if you're able to sort of free style a cheese. Like use the same percentage of dairy from your videos but vary the dairy makeup between creams, buttermilks, and regular whole milks. I was also wondering if you could do the same for the cultures as you've used many different types before and they result in different tasting and textured cheeses so would creating different combinations allow you to fine tune your taste and texture prefrences? And lastly I was wondering if the preperation methods such as how you place the curds, drain them, and times you turn, as well as other things result in important differences that can be changed to make interesting combinations.
Supernatural brand (US..) has organic, non homogenized heavy whipping cream..I’ve been adding it to recipes calling for more fat, and some recipes that don’t but when I feel a fatty boost might be tasty, and it doesn’t interfere w the curd set..
Hello. What if you made something wrong and the mould turned into poisonous or toxic? Is that an option that we should consider? I am thinking of making blue cheese out of goat milk and mesophilic starter.
With the proper cold press milk (natural milk color and terroire flavors) ... this looks like and will taste like a real BUTTER cheese, with all the yellow-orangish curds, and punching the holes, just absolute butter creaminess. This is going to be one fantastic chew. I think I licked a hole in my laptop screen trying to get a taste ...
Why has the rind separated from the main body of the cheese, during the first week of ageing? Ought I discard the whole thing or just continue, do you think?

Good observation Patricia! In this case, the MM silver wrap was too small for the cheese, so I went with the next best option.

That looks fantastic! The only think I’d ask is why scrape of the outer mould?
Very, very nice sir.
Buttermilk Blue... -drooling
The mould that you scape off, could you use that for a new batch. If, you use it the day you scrape it of course.
Very clever! I'm sure it tastes delicious, but it does remind me of a Borg spacecraft!
Blue Cheese!!! some say it must be made with goats milk... I’m glad it doesn’t have to be, though I’d still love it either way so long as it’s still Blue Cheese 🧀 🤤
It really makes us enjoy every time. I would like to inquire: How do I control the relative humidity and make it 90%?
Put a damp cloth under the mat in the ripening box. It works well.
I'm way late for the party, but couldn't you let the cheese sit in some brine after you get it out of the basket? That would prevent the blue mold growth. Or you could rub a mixture of olive oil, vinegar and salt all around the cheese once it got blue enough for you on the outside.

Supernatural brand (US..) has organic, non homogenized heavy whipping cream..I’ve been adding it to recipes calling for more fat, and some recipes that don’t but when I feel a fatty boost might be tasty, and it doesn’t interfere w the curd set..
This might be a stupid question but if I have penicilin allergy can I still eat cheese made with this penicilium mould?
Maybe. You will have to test it yourself
could putting it in the freezer or cold fridge for 30mins before scraping the mould off help with the tackyness?
Beautiful wheel of cheese!
Would you ever consider trying to make danbo cheese? It's a semi hard cheese from Denmark commonly eaten with seed bread and jam :)
Hello. What if you made something wrong and the mould turned into poisonous or toxic? Is that an option that we should consider? I am thinking of making blue cheese out of goat milk and mesophilic starter.
I currently don't have access to raw milk, is there any way of getting around this? Thank you much!
I didn't use raw milk. I used pasteurised unhomogenised cows milk.
I don’t really like the blue cheeses, I’m more of an aged and strong cheddar. It’s cool to see the process though.
same, an extra sharp cheddar crumbled over a salad instead of blue cheese. but this was a very interesting video.
