I made a cheddar that I actually really like. Finally. Tastes like cheddar should. And it's goat milk, and it's raw. I lost it in the back of the cheese heck and found it tonight. 3 years old.

Yes, I'm a big (in more ways than one!) cheddar eater. It is my cheese of heaven, although tomme and a few others get close.

I'm looking forward to the naturally wrapped one, to see how it does. And I need to start making it with raw cows milk and see what that does.

I think it was the latex cheese goop and not drying the cheese enough before putting it away to age.
