We opened up a special, much anticipated gift this Christmas Eve.
Our 4 pound wheel of jalapeño gouda! It was flavorful, but not spicy. The kids were asking for second and third slices!
It is 7 weeks old and absolutely delicious! SO worth the 7 hour process and the 7 week wait.
To say I was nervous about trying this first homemade cheese is an understatement.
I was elated to find that the taste and texture actually exceeded my expectations. Now I'm even more excited about the cheddar that is the same age and needs a few more months before it will be ready.
Eating my own homemade cheese was just the motivation I needed to get another batch going this week. Now we just need to decide what type to make.
emmental! Another gouda! swiss!
