Aging Gruyere!
Hi! I started aging this Gruyere back in march. I’m new to cheese but not super new. I’ve made Brie and cheddar and langres cheeses!
I’m doing a natural rind and She’s about 8 weeks old. I have done the every few days salt brine wash. A few weeks ago I had a lot a lot of blue mold showing up. It seems to have stopped/slowed down. Today I noticed more white mold coming up. Hard to see in the pic ( also on the other side) I’m seeing a reddish orange hue but it’s not super obvious. I’ve been trying to get b linens to take over but I’ve been having a hard time. The rind/surface of the cheese is def firm. Any advice? Don’t be mean but am I super far off? Do I keep going? Give up and vacuum seal?
Any advice would be helpful.
