Looks great, I have been a blue cheese guy forever, it’s great crumbled inside a grilled cheese Sammy, with white cheddar and Colby lots of butter in the pan, golden brown it’s a treat

I read this here. https://cheesenotes.com/post/60173789906/achelse-blue

Unlike most blues, which are innoculated with P.Roqueforti cultures and then pierced with long needles to introduce oxygen and encourage bluing, the raw cow’s milk Achelse is made from slabs of loosely packed curds, which are stacked and left exposed to air, to age and develop the blue cheese molds in the open spaces between the slabs. After six weeks, the whole wheel is sealed to continue its aging. This method contributes to its odd appearance and unique flavor.

Funny because if you look at the wheel they cut it from, that is exactly what it looks like. The marbling of a cross section of suchba cheese looks like a bunch of 'blobs' with blue veins between them.

This is the last chunk at the moment of blue in my house. It is called Amablu that I like.

I have noticed the lines before but didn't pay attention to how they got there.

I've noticed those lines in gorgonzola cheese as well but it never clicked in my brain that that would be caused by something specific.

Now I am thinking of a couple of new words for the day. mycotoxin and Brevibacterium linens.

Maybe I should just eat my cheese and not think about such things... LOL
